Using Fiori Apps for Functional Locations

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to use Fiori Apps for Functional Locations

Business Role Template

Tasks of a master data specialists in maintenance management, such as: create and monitor technical objects, serial numbers, measuring points, and bill of materials (BOMs); assign documents and classes; create and monitor task liss and maintenance plans

Master Data Specialist - Maintenance Management Smilla can access the applications related to the following master data:

  • Functional locations

  • Pieces of Equipment

  • Serial numbers

  • Bill of materials (BoMs)

  • Measuring points

  • Maintenance task lists

  • Maintenance plans and maintenance items

Note

The Business Role Template Master Data Specialist - Maintenance Management (SAP_BR_MD_SPECIALIST_EAM) is available as of SAP S/4HANA OP 2023.

Role for managing Technical Objects

The Display Roles screen, with the Menu tab selected, under which the hierarchy, node details, and other node details areas are shown

A Fiori role for managing Technical Objects has to be implemented and assigned on the frontend server. This Fiori role works according to the same principles as the other roles in SAP S/4HANA Asset Management or other applications.

Persons that are supposed to work as Master Data Specialist - Maintenance Management need to be assigned business role SAP_BR_MD_SPECIALIST_EAM via their SAP user.

Note

Please mind, that the used SAP training system unifies backend and frontend functionality. The Fiori roles, which are Frontend Roles, are therefore notmaintained in a seperate Frontend System.

You can also use this role as a copy template and adapt it to your requirements.

Note

The topic roles will be explained in more detail in course S43300.

Managing Technical Objects with Fiori Apps

Various Apps support you in order to manage and evaluate technical assets and maintenance objects efficiently as well as optimize their cost control. These Apps comprise the following functionality:

  • Find technical objects with enhanced filter and list functionality.

  • Structure existing technical systems based on technical objects, which reduces the time required for managing the technical objects and allows for a faster evaluation of maintenance data.

  • Create master records for functional locations and pieces of equipment, structure your technical objects horizontally by creating object networks, and determine measuring points and counters located along technical objects.

  • Store data in measurement documents after a measurement has been taken at a measuring point or counter.

With the SAP Fiori app Find Technical Object, you can list the technical objects in your system. You can find the one you need by filtering the list according to various properties or by using a free-text search. You can display a single technical object to view its properties, its assigned notification and operations, and its attachments. The key features can be summarized as follows:

  • List technical objects
  • Filter technical objects by various parameters, such as type, location, manufacturer, and status
  • Search for technical objects

  • Display a single technical object

  • Show details of the related notifications and orders

  • Display general information about the technical order, such as long text, category, and manufacturer

  • Display installation information about the technical object, such as location, plant, and plant section

  • Display the responsible planning plant, planner group, and work center of the technical object

  • Display the company code, business area, asset, cost center and WBS element of the technical object

  • Display the system and user statuses of the technical object

  • Display the notifications, orders, and maintenance items of the technical object

  • Display the measurement documents, and measuring points of the technical object, and navigate to them

  • List the attachments of the technical object

  • Mass edit technical objects e.g. warranty details assigned to technical objects

Additionally, you can manage the structure by installing or dismantling equipment as follows:

  • Install a subordinate equipment on the equipment at different positions and for different dates. You can install the equipment using a past date or the current date. But, you cannot use a future date while installing the subordinate equipment.

  • Dismantle a subordinate equipment from an equipment. You will see this option only if the equipment has a subordinate equipment. You can dismantle the equipment using a past date or the current date. But, you cannot use a future date while dismantling the subordinate equipment.

  • View all the installed equipment. You will see this option only if the equipment has a subordinate equipment.

Data Transfer for Locked Objects

When the data of a master record is changed and this change is to be copied into other master records using data transfer, it can be the case that the objects in question are locked by another user at this time. In this case, the system displays an overview of the objects to which data could not be transferred as well as the names of the users who are blocking the objects.

The employee responsible will not always be able to process the list of locked objects immediately. For this reason, the system stores a list of the objects that were locked during the data transfer in a separate database table.

Data transfer for locked objects can also be executed from within the SAP Fiori Launchpad. Use these Fiori apps: Transfer Data from Functional Location and Transfer Data from Equipment.
