Tool Assignment

Booking of a tool against an activity.

Tool Reservation

Direct booking of a tool (normally used for calibrations, certifications, etc, where the tool should not be used by any assignment).

Offset

Refers to the offset in hours, with respect to the starting time and end time of the activity.

...

Enable

...

Allows to enable/disable the tool functionality. Once enabled, it will be possible to see tools folder in the activity sidebar and add/remove/cancel tools. Tools will be as well displayed in the Master Data module.

...

Reserve tool

...

In Cloud / In ERP: if set to "In Cloud" all the tool reservation will be handled in cloud. If "In ERP" then FSM will first validate if there are no tool reservations and if successful it will pass control to the ERP for the final booking. ERP will respond with a reservation or rejection. This will be persisted and visible on the activity sidebar under tools.

...

Attempt to book tool when releasing

...

If an activity has tools in status OPEN or REJECTED, once the activity gets released the system will try to reserve the tools. Note that the activity will be released in any case, also in case some reservation requests will be rejected.

...

Alert when releasing activity with unreserved tools

...

In case you want to be notified when releasing in case your activity does not have all added tools as reserved, you can activate this setting.

For a tool equipment master records to be recognised as relevant for send from SAP ERP to FSM, per country, the specific equipment category type/types which will represent tools need to be maintained and flagged as 'Is Tool' in the SAP FSM cloud connector configuration (transportable setting) via transaction: /PACG/ECM_CINC01 - Included types of equipment. The image below shows an example of the configuration.

...

  • The 'PRT data' view for the equipment category is active and maintained.

  • The material code used in the 'SerData' of the equipment must be that of a tool material master record (which has the 'Prod.resources/tools' view maintained).

  • If the tool is in the possession of a specific person, the person responsible should be assigned as a partner function against the equipment record. The person responsible partner number corresponds to the unique personnel number of the technician.

  • The person responsible partner relationship type is important as it is sent to the SAP FSM cloud and used to filter the available tools by 'Mine' within the FSM mobile application.
