Service Order Processing with SAP Field Service Management (49X)

Service Order Processing with SAP Field Service Management (49X)

This scope item describes end-to-end business scenarios between SAP S/4HANA Cloud service order processing and SAP Field Service Management.

Once a service order is created and released in SAP S/4HANA Cloud, a corresponding service call is created in SAP Field Service Management. An activity is created for each service item in the service order, and spare part items are replicated as reserved materials. 

An activity is assigned to a technician on the Planning Board in SAP Field Service Management. When the activity is released, the technician is automatically updated in the corresponding service order item in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

When confirmations such as efforts, expenses, or materials are approved in SAP Field Service Management, a service confirmation is created and automatically completed in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
