Time Effort

...

Improved rounding for time splits with breaks

Calculation of time splits for CATS entries based on time efforts with breaks used to have rounding issues: the system would convert times into floating-point values and subsequently round them to the second decimal place. When two values would have ‘5’ (or above) as their third decimal, the system would round both values up. This would lead to the situation where the sum of reported time would be higher than the actual work time. To avoid such issues, the Connector now identifies rounding problems and shifts the break time by one second.

...

Checklists

...

Prefill checklist instances with order/notification partners data

Order’s/notification’s partners data can be mapped into prefilled checklists without the need for customer-specific implementations.

Suppress sending of empty checklist

In one of the previous FSM Cloud Connector releases, sending of checklists' assignments was replaced with sending empty checklists. In certain circumstances, sending of empty checklists should be suppressed regardless of other conditions. To allow this, an additional option was introduced - when enabled, empty checklists will not be sent, unconditionally.

...

Network orders

...

Update of duration

Analogously to the already existing implementation for WBS and CS orders, also in case of network orders the DURATION and PLANNEDDURATION will be set by Connector during FSM Activity creation.

...

Service orders

...

Support for cancellation of operation deletion

When operation deletion is cancelled, a new open activity is created to allow continuing work on a given task.

...

Administration & Monitoring

...

Retention Policy events handling

Handling of deletion requests generated by FSM due to the application of the Retention Policy.

Logging in FM /PACG/ECM_S_PORT

Logging in FM /PACG/ECM_S_PORT was enhanced in order to provide all possible details in case of an error.

UDF Maintenance

‘UDF Subtype’ property is from now visible only for the relevant UDF types

Prioritize access to customers' sales areas

Determination of sales area assignment for the Customers is now based on ordered list. Using this list, the Connector looks for the first matching sales area definition (in customer’s master data) instead of trying to look only for sales area defined as a default.

Fullsync progress

In addition to information about ongoing fullsync, FSM Cockpit provides information on the process's progress.

Reserved materials

...

Delivery date for reserved materials after goods movement

Arrival date used to be displayed only for reserved materials before goods issue for delivery. However, the time between goods movement and arrival to the customer can take longer. Now the delivery date is also determined for reserved materials after goods movement for delivery (support for ‘SD’ scenario).

of FSM Connector

  1. Install SAP FSM S/4HANA CONNECTOR 3.0 (S4PACG 300)

    1. In the systems where SAP Note 3472266 is in place or one of the following service packs SAPK-10704INS4CEXT or SAPK-10802INS4CEXT is installed, the FSM Connector Add-On must be installed together with Service Pack 1. Also, before note installation or upgrade of component S4CEXT the Connector must be upgraded at least to SP01

  2. Install relevant SAP notes (the list of release SAP notes is available here)

  3. Follow the steps described in Proaxia FSM Connector setup

⚠️ Important info - upgrade of FSM Connector

  1. FSM Connector upgrade to S4PACG 300 is only possible from S4PACG 200 - for details check 2918834 - Release strategy for ABAP add-on S4PACG

  2. The S4PACG 300 contains all the functionalities delivered by the S4PACG 200 SP 13 plus the additional features described below

  3. The post-installation steps depend on the initial version of the Connector which was upgraded. FSM Connector 3.0 is fully backwards compatible and does not require any extra actions upon installation, however, it is recommended to check post-installation steps for each Connector’s Service Pack that was released after the release of Connector which is subject of the upgrade to S4PACG 3.0 and the S4PACG 3.0 it self. For example, if you are upgrading S4PACG 2.0 SP 10 to S4PACG 3.0 you should check post-installation steps for S4PACG 2.0 SP 11, 12 and 13.

  4. Run the /PACG/ECM_SETUP report
