FSM Connector (general)

Class assignment configuration

In the class assignment configuration transactions - both, for incoming and outgoing objects - fields 'Message code' and 'Msg.function' got removed.

New transaction for report /PACG/ECM_RMAT_ARRIVAL

Report /PACG/ECM_RMAT_ARRIVAL can now be run with the transaction /PACG/ECM_RMAT_ARRIV

New authorization object was added /PACG/E007 - it is required to run /PACG/ECM_RMAT_ARRIVAL report

Learn more: /PACG/ECM_RMAT_ARRIV - Reserved Material - arrival date

Objects assignment

Objects assignment maintenance got redesigned and it is now possible to assign Connector objects only to relevant SAP objects.

Set status 68 for incoming IDocs instead of 56

When processing of incoming IDocs fails then the status 68 (Error - no further processing) will be set instead of 56 (IDoc with errors added).

Queue Alert Program - identify locked queues with status READY

The Queue alert program (/PACG/ECM_QSTATUS) can now trace also queues with status READY. This allows to identify queues which were locked for a longer time period.

User blocking a service order included into service call idoc logs

If processing of inbound service call or activity fails due to the locked order then, in addition to already displayed information, also the name of a user who is locking the order was added.

Learn more: Logs about user blocking service order

Items

Map material status to active/inactive flag in item

It is now possible for customers to customize which items' statuses should be considered as status ‘active’ for items in FSM and which as status ‘inactive’

Learn more: /PACG/ECM_ISTAT - Map material status

Network orders

Network control key determination

A new config option added in /PACG/ECM_NCKD. It lets users control conditions under which network activity can be updated

Performance

Batch quantities owners

When sending batch quantities to FSM, instead of creating for each owner its own IDoc segment, all batch owners are concatenated into a string and stored in as little segments as possible

Conditional triggering of events for orders

Before system triggers event sending an order to FSM, it checks beforehand if a given order is valid for sending.

Trigger ITEM event conditionally

Items are now sent to FSM using BTE instead of SWEC. This way it is possible to narrow the number of raised /PACG/ event and trigger them only for relevant materials

Personal reservation

Dummy booking for Personal Reservation

It is possible now to enable dummy booking for inbound personal reservation objects. When it is enabled, no SAP document will be created, only a confirmation message is sent back to FSM

Change key for attendance/absence types

Object key for attendance and absence types got changed in such a way that duplicates should not be sent anymore.

Fixed start/end time also for HR-originated person reservations

Reserved Materials

Reserved materials and closed activities

The reserved materials IDocs, referencing activities will not be sent anymore after referenced activities get closed

Service orders

For new operation, use units from sap standard customizing

When a new operation is created SAP based on a new activity from FSM, the time unit which is used is checked against SAP customising. It is especially important when unit representing HOUR is used because in SAP there are two different units that can be used H and STD

Time efforts

When posting time effort/work time use time unit default for activity type

When confirmations are created, Connector determines the correct time unit that should be used to identify an 'hour’ based on a standard SAP customizing.

Worktime

Post work time to activity allocation with reference to internal orders
