Change Log (SAP NOTE 3239086)
Category | Feature description |
|---|---|
Activity | Time tasks handling when changing activities' assignment When activities get reassigned, the old time tasks matching previous technician are removed Attachment overview in the FSM Activity transactions See all activity attachments directly in the FSM Activity Display and Change transactions. The summary displays GOS, BDS and DMS attachments. The user no longer needs to use the GOS menu or navigate to the standard DMS display transaction. |
Attachments | Additional improvements In the transaction /PACG/ECM_CUST_ATTA additional warnings and help searches were added. This should help users build more consistent configuration |
Authorizations | New authorization object
|
Checklists | Adjust checklists' templates It is now possible to fill checklists' dropdowns with values read directly from SAP. New BAdI and a sending report which allow updating checklists' templates in FSM. (Following SAP influence ticket 269628) Learn more: /wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1743257601 |
Connector Cockpit | Enable multiple selection in FSM Cockpit IDocs report In the FSM Cockpit, in the IDocs report it is now possible to select multiple IDocs for further processing. Object key and order number fields are now hotspots in the cockpit For the most of the objects handled by FSM Cockpit IDocs report their keys can be turned into a link (hotspot) redirecting to the dedicated transaction Display FSM Cloud Connector version info in the FSM Cockpit FSM Cloud Connector, Message Broker and Transporter versions are now available directly in the FSM Cockpit. This reduces the number of transactions used by monitoring consultants. |
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. In the class assignment configuration for inbound IDocs field ‘no immediately’ was removed. New reports /PACG/ECM_SET_TR and /PACG/ECM_SET_TV There are two new report created. With this new reports it is possible to display customising transactions and tables whose entries are not automatically transported to other systems. Learn more: /PACG/ECM_SET_TR - Non-transp. settings - transactions 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. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/31952548/PACG+ECM+EOAS+-+Object+Assignment#Limiting-the-allowed-assignment-options; /PACG/ECM_EOAS_PRE - Objects assignment pre-configuration 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 Configuration option ‘Fixed start/end time’ set in transaction /PACG/ECM_T554S can be now also applied to person reservations originated from HR and not only from CATS entries |
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 Until now worktime reported in FSM could have been booked only with CATS if the referenced order was an internal one. With this new Connector release it is now possible to use also activity allocation (because for internal orders it is not possible to post confirmations) |
Users/Employees | Automatic FSM user creation based on SAP role assignment - support for S/4 A new report checks if SAP users have been assigned certain (predefined) roles and for such users, FSM users are created. Learn more: /PACG/ECM_FSM_USERS - Report for role-based user generation Send update to FSM from transactions PA70 Employees' data updates in transaction PA70 are now automatically sent to FSM |
UDF | Link BAdI with related UDF definition FSM Connector makes it now possible to ‘jump’ from UDF definition maintenance directly to related BAdI definition. /PACG/ECM_IS_UDFDATA_OUT segment has been added to all outbound IDocs The newest Connector release allows adding UDF to every outbound IDocs. Till now, it was possible to add UDF only to the messages which have corresponding screens in FSM Web Application or in mobile apps |
