Time tasks

Time tasks entered in an effort in the FSM mobile app represent CO activity type in SAP ECC/S4.

The form of these tasks differs greatly depending on the customizing for a given company and service order type. The role of a time task can be served by:

activity types defined in /PACG/ECM_SOLAF - Activity types for time tasks (/PACG/ECM_VSCTD - Service Call types definition | Use time tasks’ act. type for conf./CATS)
operation of a service order (/PACG/ECM_VSCTD - Service Call types definition | Generate time task for order operation)
person-referring task (Task for Technician setting in transaction /PACG/ECM_SCG - Service call general settings )
