Great Blog.. 🙂
Hi Manju,
Will there be an extented product feature list for the Work Manager 6.1 similar to the one for the previous 5.3 version? These lists are great stuff when talking to customers about transactions and processes. Also discovering new features are nice 🙂
Thanks
Br.
Jacob
Jacob,
Very soon you will see similar document for WM 6.1.
Thanks
Manju
Hello Manju,
Nice Blog, but i still have some doubts, can you help please?.
1) Can work manager 6.1 be installed on SMP 2.3?
2) will it work with the GIS functionality (on smp 2.3) ?
1) Work Manager 6.1 is built for SMP 3 not SMP 2.3. Work Manager 6.0 is for SMP 2.3
2) Work Manager 6.1 uses the OpenUI that is built in SMP 3 to connect to ESRI
hi Manju Venkatesha
Nice blog, could you refer any links on how-to-guides for SAP WM 6.1
Thanks in advance
Siva Chandu
Siva,
Is there any specific How-to-guide your looking for in WM 6.1 ?
Thanks
Manju
This blog has all the details about upgrade Add-on for WM 6.1 and relevant documentation .
Hi Manju,
Great blog with valuable information.Can we expect the extended feature list for work manager 6.1 (similar to work manager 5.3 and 6.0) by end of this month.
Thanks & Regards,
Sravanthi Polu
Hi Manju,
I have a question for the Meter Management Component.
At lot of customers have implemented their Meter Management Processes (e.g. Replacement or Meter Reading) with Notifications. Does the Work Manager support Notifications for Meter Management Processes or do I have to use work orders here?
Thanks and regards,
Marcus
Marcus,
In meter management component we do support meter replacement process but not with notifications. Notifications are only supported for regular work orders with PM module.
Thanks
Manju.
Hi Manju,
Great blog & info - thanks.. I am hoping you can help clarify a couple of things that confuse me when I read note 1936034.
1) Do we really have to choose only one of the following? WM with LAM, WM without LAM, WM with customer service, WM with crew management, and WM with meter management? Are we able to have say WM with LAM and the meter management option?
2) If the above answer is no, do we need two completely separate ERP instances to allow for multiple scenarios?
Thanks in advance,
geoff
Geoff,
For meter management component , IS-U is
prerequisite. Do you have both Plant maintenance module and
IS-U modules on different SAP instance ?. Think of using 2 Mobile application WM with LAM and WM with Meter management component if that’s your requirement. Moreover LAM is only relevant for Work Manager functionalities not for Meter management
component. Sometimes we can't combine various component together because of various limitation on EHP level and SAP version w.r.t LAM.
Not clear with question 2) ….Think of having 2 Mobile application WM with LAM and WM with Meter management component if that’s your requirement.
Thanks
Manju
Thanks for the response, Manju. We have our IS-U system and PM/MM and all logistics in one single ERP instance at EhP7. So if I understand you correctly, we would just need a second WM system (i.e. mobile platform VM or something) to support both a meter management and a LAM WM? That makes sense. I think you have answered both of my questions. Thanks.

Greate Blog,
My doubt:
Can we install a SYCLO WM Add-ons on SAP System before configuring EAM?
Hi Rag,
yes you can, but where is the sense? If you are not using EAM (PM) at the moment, then you also not need a mobile solution. Also most of the filter criteria are based on the PM/CS Customizing.
Kind regards,
Mike
Hello Rag , Yes you can , As michael said if u r not using PM then no need to configure SAP WM because its completely for PM and some part for MM only . Thanks & Regards, Kunal Varaiya
Kunal & Michal Thanks for Replay,
My clarification is,
EAM people start to do configuration work, in this stage its possible to start syclo work or have to wait till completion of EAM configuration.
More clarrification : EAM and SYCLO WM work can start parallel?
Thanks
Rag
Dear Rag , As per my knowledge , you can start configure SYCLO WM because it will only effect when run from mobile then start doing validate backend or configure EAM system . So , i dont think there is any problem But keep in mind first you have to do proper configuration for PM based on your business needs then syclo configuration based on your PM configuration . Thanks & Regards, Kunal Varaiya
Thanks for your information
Regard
Rag
Hi Rag, hi Kunal,
I fully agree on Kunals post. My recommendation is also first PM (EAM) then go mobile. Otherwise you will have an overhead of administration and organisation with the business (imho). I did both in the meanwhile several times. And my summary would be first customize your processes and then based on this start to mobilize them.
Kind regards,
Mike
