Configuration entry determination

(key based on which a specific entry is retrieved for inbound mileage processing)

Source cost center

During inbound mileage processing the source cost center is determined based on setting ‘CC booking' in transaction /PACG/ECM_MLGG – Mileage – General Settings. The retrieved value is then compared with the content of the ‘Source cost center’ field in the Mileage Definition transaction to find a relevant configuration entry (the combination of all other properties received from SAP FSM should also be matched). This field serves only as an optional, additional ‘filter' for mileage configuration determination.

Info

If no entry for the retrieved source cost center is found, an entry with empty source cost center is considered.

MlgTypeFromUDF (formerly ‘Mileage type’)

The mileage type value to be retrieved from a special mileage type UDF. It serves as an additional criterion to determine the proper activity type, cost center and other mileage properties. This field is optional. The UDF ID used to hold the values should be entered beforehand in transaction /PACG/ECM_MLU – UDF for Mileage, sent to FSM and placed on the relevant mileage screen.

You use this special UDF for instance to allow technicians to select distance unit during mileage recording, in case you use one FSM company for multiple regions. For each value of the special UDF (e.g. ‘K' for kilometers, ‘BM’ for British miles, 'UM’ for American miles) you can enter a different activity type in the mileage customizing - cost documents will be posted with the unit assigned to the found activity type (transaction KL03).

Chargeable

Mileage properties set during mileage recording on the SAP FSM mobile app.

Driver

Private car

DistUnit

Use this field if distance unit (kilometer/mileage) selected during mileage recording on the mobile app should have impact on activity type determination.

Based on the distance unit of a mileage entry, as well as its other properties (e.g. chargeable, driver), a relevant mileage configuration entry is selected, including activity type. The retrieved activity type has impact on which unit will be used in the resulting Direct Activity Allocation document (units are assigned to activity types). This field reflects the functionality of https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/37135129/PACG+ECM+MLGPRP+-+Mileage+definition#MlgTypeFromUDF-(formerly-%E2%80%98Mileage-type%E2%80%99), the only difference is that instead of a UDF, it relies on a standard mileage property.

If no matching configuration entry is found for the recorded distance unit (and all other mileage properties), an additional configuration retrieval is performed - this time distance unit is not considered.
