Update equipment characteristics
Equipment
Equipment characteristics sent as UDF data can be automatically updated by changing the UDF value in SAP FSM.
Example
The tested equipment’s characteristic has value ‘INPUT’ in transaction IE02.
Change the related UDF’s value in SAP FSM equipment master data.
An idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_EQUI_IN is generated, with a UDFDATA segment containing the changed value.
Navigate to transaction IE02 and see that the modified characteristic of the tested equipment has changed in SAP as well.
Activity
The tested equipment’s characteristic has value ‘14’ in transaction IE02.
In SAP FSM navigate to an activity which has the test equipment assigned. Find the test UDF and change its value.
An idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_ACTIVITY_IN is generated, with a UDFDATA segment containing the changed value.
Navigate to transaction IE02 and see that the modified characteristic of the tested equipment has changed in SAP as well.
