/PACG/ECM_ICONF - Item Configuration

In the standard, we use the material group to group the material in the cloud. In case of an entry here we use the product hierarchy instead.

For dummy material which results in service order text position, you can use technical UDF on object ITEM enabling to overwrite material description in the app - if the UDFs value is equal to "Y".

Value “Y” is set if for a given material/material group and company, an entry can be found in table /pacg/ecm_cmat2.

The technical UDF needs to have the defined name - ‘COR_CLOUD_EDITNAME’ - otherwise FSM won’t react on it.

Remove leading zeros of material serial numbers. With this setting checked, the ‘SERNR’ field of /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR idocs no longer contains leading zeros.

Process steps

1. Set the ‘Sn ZeroDel’ field for the test company in transaction /PACG/ECM_ICONF.

2. Transfer a maintained serial number with transaction /PACG/ECM_TRIG_SERNR.  

3. An outbound idoc of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR does not contain leading zeros in the ‘SERNR’ field.

The leading zeros are absent on the FSM mobile app during material creation.

4. Follow the steps above, with the ‘Sn ZeroDel’ setting unchecked. Notice that this time leading zeros can be found in the ‘SERNR’ field of an /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR idoc.

When consuming a serialized part (a serialized item representing an equipment), it can be installed in equipment structure or replace another equipment (trigger dismantle of an existing part).  

To facilitate this process in the mobile application, the technician must specify the value of a special UDF and the equipment:

• INSTALLATION SCENARIO - in which the serialized item should be installed

• REPLACEMENT SCENARIO - the equipment which should be replaced by this serialized item

During processing of a /PACG/ECM_GOODRECIN idoc (after material consumption), the UDF specified in the ‘UDF for action’ field is searched for in the idoc’s UDFDATA segments. The found UDF’s value is then used to determine whether an equipment (represented by serialized material) should be installed (value ‘2’), replaced (value ‘3’) or no action should be carried out (value ‘1’).  

Forced equipment install or dismantle (related to the field ‘UDF for Item action’ above.

Use UII as the serial number. During transfer of serial numbers (idocs of type /PACG/ECM_ITYPE_SERNR) it is checked if this setting is set and the related object’s UII (Unique Item Identifier) is available.

If so, the UII will be used as the serial number value (instead of the regular serial number).

Specify the way of determining if a material should be sent as serialized to SAP FSM.

During item transfer, plant assignment of the MDOC object is used to retrieve material’s serial number profile from table MARC. If a serial number profile is found, the item can be sent as serialized.

Default – use the material’s MARC data retrieved for the default MDOC plant to determine if the material is serial-managed. If a serial number profile is found for the default plant, the item will be transferred as serialized.

A, All plants - if no serial number profile value is found in table MARC for the material in the default MDOC plant, search it in the non-default plants. Only if no serial number profile is found in table MARC for any assigned plant, will the material be transferred as non-serialized.

D, Delivering plant – if no serial number profile value is found in table MARC for the material in the default MDOC plant, search it in the material’s delivering plant (as sales area data use the default sales area of the ITEM object for a given company).

Only if no serial number profile is found in table MARC for both plants, will the material be transferred as non-serialized.

If no batch-management indicator is found in table MARC, check valuation type and stock in table MBEW. If for the relevant plant the valuation type is not empty and stock value is bigger than zero, the material will be sent as batch-managed.
