The SAP PM Console Page allows users to:
-
View useful information about the SAP PM Data
-
Trigger synchronizations with the SAP Server
-
Download and upload the functional location mappings
The figure below shows a screenshot of the SAP PM Console, that can be found under the "SAP PM" menu in j5.
1. Import WRO data - Synchronize Work Orders, Operations and Notifications with SAP
This button will trigger a full synchronization of the SAP WRO Data with the configured SAP server (illustrated in SAP Work Orders, Operations and Work Notifications Synchronization Overview). It will also retrieve any new or changed Work Orders and Notifications, and any Operations linked to the Work Orders that have been retrieved.
This operation may take some time to complete, depending on the size of the dataset and how many changes have been made. The status message will clear once this is complete.
2. Remap WRO data
If the mapping of the functional locations and areas, or the equipment to asset mapping has changed (such as if a change is made in the SAP Maintenance Plant Map application and SAP Functional Locations application), this will be remapped for work orders and locations.
3. Import from SAP - Synchronize Functional Locations and Equipment with SAP
This button will trigger a full synchronization of the SAP PM Data (Functional Locations, Equipment, etc) with the configured SAP server (illustrated in SAP Functional Locations and Equipment Synchronization Overview).
This operation may take some time to complete, dependant on the size of the data set and how many changes have been made. The status message will clear once this is complete.
4. Apply Asset Mapping
This button will trigger a synchronization of the imported SAP Equipment to the j5 Asset Register. This should be used when functional location area mappings have been updated and these changes should be reflected in the Asset Register. Applying the Asset Mapping is one of the tasks done when the "Import from SAP" button is pressed but clicking the "Apply Asset Mapping" button will not trigger the full synchronization of importing equipment, etc and only perform the necessary mapping.
The status message will clear once this is complete.
5. Status Update/Last Sync
A Sync or Upload status will appear when an action is performed. This will notify the user of the action and will only disappear once the action is complete. The Status update will always appear to the right of the Sync buttons. The date and time that the last "Import from SAP" took place will also appear here.
