New features

General SAP FSM - SAP S/4 integration

• Department integration - transfer department units and employee department assignments from SAP S/4 to SAP FSM. Departments assigned to employees in SAP FSM are sent to SAP S/4 with idocs of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_PERSONIN.

• Internal remarks integration - activity internal remarks are sent to and from SAP S/4 and displayed in transaction /PACG/ECM_ACTI_VC03 - Display E4C Activity.

• 'Inactive' property - transfer objects from SAP S/4 to SAP FSM as 'inactive'. A new field 'inactive' added to the idoc segment /PACG/ECM_IS_CONTROL.

• Regulate synchronization of activities with status 'draft'.

Regions and planning scenarios

• Create planning scenarios in SAP S/4 and transfer them to SAP FSM.

Service workflow

• Workflow steps of an FSM activity can change depending on a user status of a related service notification (as a service call).

Person

• A new source of usernames for person objects sent to FSM - SAP username.

Smartforms

• Add an instance-specific description to a checklist instance when creating them in SAP S/4.

Time efforts

• Time tasks can be created with reference to a person (sent once with the user data). In the standard approach, two kinds of time tasks are sent to the cloud – one referring to an object (O-type) and another one referring to a person (P-type). To prevent generation of excessive number of time tasks, tasks for technicians have been implemented. Such tasks refer to a specific technician and are sent only once, with the user data (/PACG/ECM_USERMASTER – User).

Stock

• Send stock information for project stock.

Defect corrections

• Company ID in the /pacg/ecm_armat table now properly filled when creating a component during service order creation.

• Stock information now always sent if MARD-LABST field has a value bigger than 0.

• Additional validation for time frames of work time tasks - actual start/finish fields now obligatory in the Work time – Time frames table. Start dates of work time in CATS now displayed correctly.

• When sending a person reservation with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_PRERV error logs with not selected users and message 'User [user name] does not exist in this period' are no longer displayed.
