To activate the usage of tools, it is necessary to make the following one-time settings in the SAP FSM Cloud Connector. All mentioned settings are transportable. The settings mentioned in steps 1 to 4 are set-up automatically by executing the SAP FSM cloud connector set-up program: /PACG/ECM_SETUP - E4C Setup. The settings are individually mentioned below for the purpose of information and reference.

Status to be set to the PRT
Make sure to customize which user status should be set to equipment-based tools in transaction /PACG/ECM_STAT - Statuses for Tool:
During transfer of a tool assignment to FSM, FSM Cloud Connector searches for an entry a relevant entry:
if no user status set to the PRT yet - with FSM Status 'BOOKED' (and the relevant status profile, if found for the PRT)
. Then it attempts to set the found user status to the PRT. The tool assignment will be sent with status BOOKED.
if any user status already set to the PRT
- with the status profile and user status set to the PRT. Then it attempts to send the tool with the found FSM status (e.g. BOOKED)
