Equipment characteristics values can be transferred into single fields of FSM equipments as UDF data.
Prerequisites – classes, characteristics and UDF definitions
Create a new equipment class in CL01 (or use an already existing one). Make sure its characteristics are properly maintained as well (to be created in CT04).
Equipment characteristics should be maintained as UDFs in transaction /PACG/ECM_UDF_CONF.
They can be entered manually or generated with transaction /PACG/ECM_UDFG_UDF, based on a specified class.
Make sure the cloud message type of all UDFs meant for equipment characteristics is ‘EQUIPMENT’.
New UDF definitions should be transferred to SAP FSM with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_UDF.
Successful process results in new fields displayed in equipment FSM master data.
Characteristics values
For equipment characteristics values to be sent, it is first necessary to check the ‘EQChasUDF’ field in transaction /PACG/ECM_EQ1.
In transaction IE02 assign the testing class to an equipment of your choice.
Fill the characteristics values with valid data.
Saving the equipment should trigger generation of an /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_EQUI idoc. The idoc should carry /PACG/ECM_IS_UDFDATA_OUT segments, each containing one characteristic ID, value and type – corresponding to the data entered in IE02 for this equipment.
The characteristics values should also be visible in SAP FSM master data of this equipment, in the ‘User-Defined Fields’ section.
