General customizing options

Contact Source

Source object for Contact Person in Activity. Option ‘Only cloud’ means that contact person property should be filled in FSM and will not be overwritten by SAP values (service order/notification/customer partner functions). If not entered in FSM, contact person will remain empty.

Equi source /
Status
titleOld LABEL
Send Equi

Customize what is sent as equipment in outbound activity idocs.

Note

In the past the Equi&telo setting in transaction /PACG/ECM_EQ1 - Equipment Settings handled this functionality. The new customizing has been separated and expanded.

Note

If an equipment were assigned to an activity in SAP FSM, the exact same equipment would be resent, regardless of the ‘SEND_EQUI’ setting for activities. This is checked in table /PACG/ECM_ACTI, field ‘EQUIPMENT’ (or ‘FUNCTIONAL LOC’) and serves the purpose of avoiding overwriting activity information updated from FSM.

In transaction /PACG/ECM_ACTIVE, set the ‘Send Equi’ field to ‘Equipment from operation’.  

Image Modified

 

Create a service order operation with equipment assigned.  

Image Modified

 

After saving, the operation equipment can be found in a new /PACG/ECM_ACTIVITY_OUT idoc, segment ‘/PACG/ECM_IS_ACTIVITY’ and field ‘EQUIPMENT’.

Image Modified

Planning Plant

If field is checked notification plant ID in IDOC is taken from planning plant otherwise plant ID is taken from maintenance plant. Configuration is working when service notification is sent as activity to FSM.

Act/Ord in Subj

Depends on selected option Activity subject can be send to FSM as:

  • Activity number + operation short text

  • Order number + operation short text

  • Only operation short text

Example in FSM: Activity subject from activity number option

Image Modified

Operation texts

Use the operation’s long text as the activity’s remarks, instead of the service order’s long text.

Please note that starting form the Release 2111 this option will not be available - operation’s long text will be always used as the activity remarks. Additionally, the new option Order’s header long text to acti remarks will be available in transaction/PACG/ECM_SCTD.

No Customer TZ

Planning Times can be interpreted in Time zone of Customer (Setting in /PACG/ECM_COMP - Company definition). As company setting is for planning times & time effort, it can be overruled here.

Cont. Person SO

Enter a service order partner function which should be used for service call and activity contact person determination. If lefft empty, value ‘CP’ will be used. Please note that contact person masterdata must be sent beforehand to FSM, otherwise the contact person in service call/activity overview will not be displayed correctly. Contact persons are sent together with customer master data.

Activity Partner Role

Image Modified

SP&SH Partner Function from SC Definition - Partner role for “sold to” and “ship to” will be taken from settings t-code /PACG/ECM_SCTD (Sold to & Ship to)

Image Modified

SP&SH Partner Function from AC Property - partner role will be taken from configuration Activity Sold-To, Activity Ship-to

This values are stored in table /PACG/ECM_ACTI for created activity.

Upd Operation Method

Allow operation update based on changes of activity in FSM, e.g. activity description/technician/dates update in FSM results in operation description/technician/dates update in SAP ECC/S4.

Note

Please note that this option does not have any impact if ‘Use req. ass.’ is enabled in transaction /PACG/ECM_

SCTD –

VSCTD - Service Call types definition

: Overview and Detail

. The option "UseReqAssign" should be used in case of multiple activities created to single operation. In such a case you there’s only one place on the backend side and several activities assigned to it. If you change anything on operation level, then all activities will be affected. Therefore if the option "UseReqAssign" is active there is no update on operations. This is not a bug, it is implemented by design. If you would like to have the operations updated from activities, please switch this option off.

SArea Object

During creation of an activity, FSM Cloud Connector gets sales area from sales area assignment for object ACTIVITY with flag “default”. This means that all activities created during ASA event (in SAP ECC/S4) and during creation from FSM have only one sales area per company. This is not good for companies working with sales area assignment for service order and/or for service notification as a service call.


If this flag is set, FSM Cloud Connector:

  1. Checks if the service order/service notification has an assignment to sales area (entries in transaction /PACG/ECM_SAASG - Sales Area Assignment for objects SERVICECALL - if it’s a maintenance order, or SNOTC, for service notification-based service calls)

  2. Checks if the found sales area is set in a given order/notification

  3. If it’s set and this sales area is also defined in transaction /PACG/ECM_SAASG - Sales Area Assignment for object ACTIVITY, then the Connector sets this sales area assignment for the processed activity (instead of the one marked as “default”).

RemvdOpAct

By default, removing an operation in transaction IW32 will result in setting the related activities' status to ‘CLOSED’. To make it clear that an activity is closed because of a removed operation, a user-specified text can be added to activity remarks or the activity subject (as a prefix).

Image Modified

The attachment will be saved in SAP ECC/S4 on the activity level.

Image Modified

The attachment will also be available from the activity’s service order’s notification’s level in SAP ECC/S4.

Image Modified

Removed operation text

Enter the text to be set as activity subject prefix or remarks for activities related to deleted operations. See field ‘RemvdOpAct’ above.

WF Step for removed operation

By default, removing an operation in transaction IW32 will result in setting the related activities' status to ‘CLOSED’. To make it clear that an activity is closed because of a removed operation, a user-specified workflow step can be set for such activities. Enter the name of a workflow step which should be assigned.

Image ModifiedImage Modified

If left empty, no workflow step will be set.

Link SAP Attachments from Service Order to Activity

Activities can inherit attachments from the related service orders. When an attachment is created for a service order in SAP ECC/S4 and this field is checked, an attachment reference will be created for the related activities in SAP. Such new activity attachments will be automatically transferred to SAP FSM, if not blocked by the outbound configuration (e.g. setting ‘block out’ in the General configuration).

See: /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA - Inbound/Outbound Attachment Configuration

Info

All activities created later, after service order attachment creation, will also inherit the service order’s attachments.

Note

Please note that in order for proper inheritance of BDS attachments, ‘BDS configuration’ in /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA must allow adding an attachment of a given document type to object /PACG/ECMA (Activity).

Example process

Expand
titleClick to expand the example

Make sure that the ‘Link SAP Atta. of Service Ord. to Acti’ field is enabled.

Create an attachment of any relevant type (GOS/BDS/DMS) for a service order. In the example below it is a SAP Office (GOS) attachment.

Image Modified

The attachment reference will be automatically added to the service order’s activity in SAP ECC/S4.

Image Modified

Additionally, the new activity attachment will be transferred to SAP FSM.

Image Modified

Link SAP Attachments from Service Notification to Activity

Activities can inherit attachments from the related notifications. When an attachment is created for a notification in SAP ECC/S4 and this field is checked, an attachment reference will be created for the related activities in SAP. Such new activity attachments will be automatically transferred to SAP FSM, if not blocked by the outbound configuration (e.g. setting ‘block out’ in the General configuration).

See: /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA - Inbound/Outbound Attachment Configuration

Info

All activities created later, after notification attachment creation, will also inherit the notification’s attachments.

Info

Status
title(S4)PACG 200 SP08
The functionality also supports notification task-based activities. After adding an attachment to a notification, the attachment is linked to the existing notification’s tasks’ activities in SAP ECC/S4 and transferred to FSM.

Note

Please note that in order for proper inheritance of BDS attachments, ‘BDS configuration’ in /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA must allow adding an attachment of a given document type to object /PACG/ECMA (Activity).

Example process

Link SAP att. of Not. Task to Activity

Attachments added to a service notification task in SAP ECC/S4 will be linked also to the activity created based on that task (integration scenario where notifications are used as service calls and their tasks as activities). The solution applies to GOS and BDS attachments (object type QMSM).

Note

Please note that in order for proper inheritance of BDS attachments, ‘BDS configuration’ in /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA must allow adding an attachment of a given document type to object /PACG/ECMA (Activity).

Link SAP Attachments from Equipment to Activity

Note

Make sure that attachments are enabled for equipment in transaction /PACG/ECM_EQ1, field ‘Send attachment’.

Enable inheriting equipment’s attachments by activities (after adding an attachment to equipment) if the equipment is assigned to the activity (field ‘Equipment’ in table /PACG/ECM_ACTI).

The equipment can also be added to the service order operation related to the activity or the header of the service order related to the activity.  

Attachments will be added to all open activities - if the configuration field is set and an activity or its reference object has the same equipment as the one to which an attachment was added. The logic is executed in Equipment event after attachment creation in SAP ECC/S4. The solution works with GOS, BDS and DMS attachments. 

Info

All activities created later, after equipment attachment creation, will also inherit the equipment’s attachments.

Note

Please note that in order for proper inheritance of BDS attachments, ‘BDS configuration’ in /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA must allow adding an attachment of a given document type to object /PACG/ECMA (Activity).

Link SAP Attachments of Functional location to Activity

Note

Make sure that attachments for functional location are enabled in transaction /PACG/ECM_EQ1, field ‘Send attachment’.

Attachments added to functional location in SAP ECC/S4 will be inherited by activities using this functional location ('Funct loc' in table /PACG/ECM_ACTI).

Info

All activities created later, after functional location attachment creation, will also inherit the functional location’s attachments.

Note

Please note that in order for proper inheritance of BDS attachments, ‘BDS configuration’ in /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA must allow adding an attachment of a given document type to object /PACG/ECMA (Activity).

Attachments added to a service notification task-based activity in SAP FSM will be linked also to the related notification task in SAP ECC/S4 (integration scenario where notifications are used as service calls and their tasks as activities). The solution applies to GOS and BDS storage methods.

Link FSM Attachments from Activity to Equipment

Attachments added in SAP FSM with reference to activity will be added in SAP ECC/S4 as attachments to both the activity itself and the pointed equipment.

Equipment is primarily searched in table /PACG/ECM_ACTI for a given activity but it will be overwritten by BAdI implementation. Equipment is determined based on implementation of BAdI https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1466761219/BAdI+definitions#I_GET_EQUI_FOR_REFERENCE. The provided implementation’s logic is the following: create an additional attachment reference for equipment whose serial number can be found in the first (out of 3 or more) segment of the attachment’s name:
