      Hi Manju,

      We've followed the Pre-Requisites to install and activate SAP Work Manager 6.2 Base Version (without LAM) as specified:

      Install ABAP Add-ons in ERP system:

      1. SMFND 610_700 with SP04

      2. SMERP 610_700 with SP04

      Activate BC set /SMERP_WORK_MANAGER_62_REF.

      But when we created a work order with measuring points assigned to the PRT of the operation, we are not able to see the measuring points in the mobile device. The Measuring Point TAB is there but no measuring points are displayed. In the operation of the work order, we've assigned a functional location where the measuring points will be coming from.

      When we are using Work Manager 6.1 we know that in order for the measuring points to be seen in the mobile device, you have to do the following:

      1. Activate BC Set /SMERP/EHP5_EAM_BUS_FUNC or

      2. Apply Note 2034348 - Remove dependency for Inspection Round feature from switch framework /SMERP/EHP5_EAM_BUS_FUNC

      Since we don't want to use LAM, we've applied the note.

      Is there a new note for Work Manger 6.2 that needs to be applied in order for inspection rounds to work.

      Please advice.

      Regards,

      Carlou

      Hi Carlou,

      I think note 2034348 is already implemented with ABAP add-on SP04. In SAP, you added a Functional Location with measuring points to the operation, but did you then add the measuring point to the work order PRT?

      Did you  try using  record points from  work order main menu ?   From this link you  should be able to see all the measuring points associated with header level / operation level technical objects.

      May be you can clarify how your assigning measuring points to PRT's  like directly as measuring point or indirectly through technical object ?

      Thanks

      Manju.

      Hi Manju/Marcal,

      Thanks for your replies. I finally solved the issue. Here are the steps we did.

      Master data:

      =========

      1. Assigned a functional location to the operation of the work order. This functional location has measuring points.

      2. Created a PRT on that operation and assigned the measuring points to the PRT.

      Issue that I posted:

      ==============

      Measuring points assigned to the PRT was not displayed in the mobile device screen where you create measurement documents. Navigation to reach this screen: Click PRT from the detail screen of the work order > Then click select the operation from the Production Resource Tool screen > Click the Measuring Point TAB

      Reason why the measuring points was not displayed.

      ========================================

      The functional location assigned to the work order operation was filtered out. When this happen to anybody, run ATE and make sure that the functional location collection in the operation where you assigned your inspection rounds is available and was not taken out by your filters.

      Cheers,

      Carlou

      Yes, good article for technical side (SMP Installation). Functional side is again different where we have to install ERP mobile addon 610_700 or 620_700 And needs to do configuration. I am working on work manager, inventory manager, and

      I am working on SAP Work Manager, inventory manager, and rounds manager. However there are lot of issues and there are no notes also released for issues, quite complex and limitation.

      Follow up question on SAP Work Manager 6.2

      ===================================

      At the backend, when you assign measuring points to the PRT of the work order operation, you can assign measuring points assigned to the functional location directly assigned to the operation and measuring points below the structure of this functional location. When you create measurement documents, you can create measurement documents in every measuring points assigned to the PRT of the work order operation.

      But in the mobile device when you open the measuring points assigned to the PRT of the work order by clicking the PRT from the detail screen of the work order > then click the operation from the Production Resource Tool screen > then click the measuring point TAB, you are only presented with the measuring points assigned directly to the functional location of the work order operation. You will not be able to see measuring points located below the structure.

      Is there a way to display all measuring points assigned to the PRT at the backend? I've read somewhere that this is not available in Version 6.1 but will be addressed in Version 6.2. Can anybody confirm that it was address and if so, is there any other configuration or settings to be done.

      Thanks in advance,

      Carlou

      Can you please refer me to a guide that is about upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2 ?

      There is no upgrade guide from WM 6.1 to 6.2.  This is a new install.  Any changes that you have done in 6.1, you will need to re-create in 6.2.

      Equipment.Create.

      FunctionalLocation.Create.

      By default these values are set to Y.

      Hi Manju,

      Last year we had installed WM5.3 and had made some custom objects on it to add more functionality to the offering based on the business requirements. We thought of migrating this custom retrofit from 5.3 to 6.1 on SMP3.0. We were able to install it, but are facing issues connecting our mobile devices. We were able to install the app (could see 'I am here'), but were facing issues connecting to the app from ATE or WTF client. We worked with SAP and after a few rounds we passed that error. Now we are facing another issue as shown below.

      We are not sure whether the issue is with 6.1 app or with SMP 3.0 or with something else. I'm aware that the latest version of the WM app is 6.2. Do you see a valid reason us making another attempt installing this on WM6.2 and what could be the reason for this issue? We are actually stuck as we want to proceed demoing our solution to 2 of our existing clients.

      Thanks in advance,

      Regards,

      Ketul,

      Take look at this SAP note, even though it is related to ConnectTest.bat but linked to invalid password issue. Before applying note try SAP connection test using Connecttest.bat  to cross check if your getting same error message. if you get invalid password even during connectTest.bat then apply this note.  Error message is mostly  linked with JAVA layer.   What is the JCO version your using JCO 2.3 or JCO 3.0 ? have you overridden any  logon  class java code. Also check if your using latest JAVA jars files of WM 6.1.

      SAP Note: 2042566 - Patch to correct connectTest.bat Java Exception under Work Manager 6.1, Inventory Manager 4.0

      Next time please try to post this question in the forum, so that chance of getting more response is greater. 

      Thanks

      Hi Manju Venkatesha.

      Can you please make some release notes for 6.2.1?

      The thing is it was released but the "info" link on marketplace is broken and there is no information about the release. I saw some notes that SP05 is needed and an extra jar file along with the 6.2.1 jar, but it would be good to have a release note or changelog.

      You need to download SMP SDK from SAP support site, it contains a folder with Agentry stuff including the Android client.

      Also you can get the demo version from google play: SAP Work Manager – Android-Apps auf Google Play

      Thanks for the prompt reply

      I want to understand that the add-on/optional components such as Crew Management and Meter Management would require extra licenses apart from SAP Work Manager Licenses, also can we implement SAP Work Manager with all three components (Meter Management Crew Management and Customer Service components)

      Thanks

      Hi,

      Please look at  deployment options  section for possible deployment scenarios with standard Work Manager product. Anything outside those deployment scenario's  is pure customization. 

      As per as  licensing  requirements you may have to talk to your SAP Account executive.

      Thanks,

      Hello,

      could you please tell me if SAP Work Manager has a bilingual interface (English/French swapping) and how does it works briefly.  Does it use the SAP profile of the user in the SAP ERP backend defined?  Also, can we install this app on a notebook instead of a mobile device, and if possible then do we need the SAP Mobile platform or it can works offline and sync it back once connect to the intranet ? Finally can we attach pictures with notifications, work order as a result of inspections? Thanks a lot!

      1) When a client connects, it send the device language settings.  Here the server has a set of overwrite files and if the language matches one of the override files it will send the text from that file to the client.

      2) WM does support Windows 7 and Windows 8, you would use the WPF clients.

      3) WM is setup to be off-line unless you are sending updated to \ from the server.  Only exception if you are using the Push functionally to get work orders right to the device when they are released.

      4) Yes Attach documents (to include pics) are supported.

      Work Clearance Management is not currently part of the product (as of WM 6.3).  It is on the roadmap for future consideration so they are considering it down the road. 

      In the meantime you could certainly look to add it in yourself through configuration.
