Object assignment (?)

Object TAG and SKILL must be added to /PACG/ECM_NOAS - No Object Assignment for a given company

Customizing options

Skill source

Specify which source should be used for determination of skills relevant for technicians in a given company. These skills can would then be sent automatically whenever an Employee’s master data is sent to FSM or a new qualification is added on to the SAP system. You can also send them manually via transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_SKILL - Skill send.

The following sources are available:

  • Infotype 0024 - use the qualifications assigned to a technician via infotype Qualifications (e.g. in transaction PA30).

Note

Before skills of this type are sent, make sure that the relevant Tags (qualifications) had been sent. This can be done with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_TAG - Tag send. In the hereby described transaction, the ’Tag source' field should be set to ‘Infotype 0024’.

  • Individual development plant - use the qualifications assigned to a technician via development plan (e.g. in transaction PPDPIM). Such qualifications are stored in table HRP1001.

Note

Before skills of this type are sent, make sure that the relevant Tags (qualifications) had been sent. This can be done with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_TAG - Tag send. In the hereby described transaction, the ’Tag source' field should be set to ‘Individual development qualifications’.

  • Status

    Work center - use the qualifications assigned to the technician’s work center (e.g. in transaction IR02). Such qualifications are stored in table HRP1001.

In SAP ECC/S4, qualifications can be assigned to work centers. This would indicate that all employees belonging to a given work center share common skills. The effort of maintaining skills per each employee individually is significantly reduced. This skill source determination option takes advantage of this approach. If more than one work center is assigned, the qualifications from all work centers will be used.

Info

Creation/deletion of a work center qualification in transaction IR02 triggers automatic transfer of new skills/deletion requests - changes in SAP ECC/S4 are automatically reflected in FSM.

Note

Before skills of this type are sent, make sure that the relevant Tags (qualifications) had been sent. This can be done with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_TAG - Tag send. In the hereby described transaction, the ’Tag source' field should be set to ‘Individual development qualifications’.

  • Status

    BAdI - skill determination conducted based on customer-specific implementation (BAdI definition /PACG/ECM_GET_SKILLS). With a developer’s help, you can have full impact on how skills are determined.

Note

Before skills of this type are sent, make sure that the relevant Tags (qualifications) had been sent. This can be done with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_TAG - Tag send.

Status
title(S4)PACG 200 SP10
Skip skills with ‘valid to’ in the past

Do not transfer skills whose ‘valid to’ date is in the past, compared to the system date.

Tag source

Determine the source of Tags (representing qualifications):

  • HR mini master info type 0024 entries found in table T574A/B

or
  • infotype 1000 DB table

Tags must be sent to FSM before Skill transfer. You can do it with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_TAG - Tag send.

Tag name source

This is the ID that is sent as "Name" in FSM.

Tag descr.

This is the name of the qualification found in tag source and shown as "Description" in FSM.

Send Req Act

Send requirements with activity

Short skill key

Use short keys, stored in table /PACG/ECM_SKILL, as skill ID sent to SAP FSM.

Info

To save skill attachments as DMS, it is required to have this setting enabled. As a result, object link for /PACG/ECMQ and the short skill key will be created in a DMS document.
