SAP Service and Asset Manager (SSAM) Mobile Application integration with SAP Field Service Management (FSM) using Proaxia connector for ECC & S/4HANA use cases. This integration support available for both Maintenance Technician & Field Service Technician personas. If you are looking for S/4HANA Service use case then please refer to my other blog: Integration of SAP Service and Asset Manager(SSAM) with SAP FSM to support S/4HANA Service Processes.
SSAM integrated with SAP FSM planning board and show the current status of orders and tracks technician’s location to facilitate scheduling and dispatching. As part of this Integration, SAP SSAM also supports FSM Smartforms and allows the SAM mobile application to download, modify and upload FSM Smartforms assigned to an activity/operation.
Process flow for SAP SAM Integration with SAP FSM
SSAM integrated directly with SAP FSM using the Service and Data APIs provided by SAP FSM. However, the underlying objects that need to be updated, (e.g. Service Orders (Service Calls in FSM), Operations (Activities in FSM), Employees (Persons in FSM) are created by the Proaxia connector. Therefore, the following pre-requisites must be implemented for the end-to-end scenarios to work.
Prerequisites:
- Proaxia FSM connector is configured and set-up to replicate data b/w SAP & FSM system
- Enable 'External Id' flag under FSM connector Company definition section.
- Implement BAdi methods to provide ID mapping between SAM & FSM.
Implementation Details:
The following sections will explain the details on how to implement these prerequisites.
Make sure Proaxia FSM connector is configured and set-up in your environment to replicate data b/w SAP & FSM system. For more details about Proaxia connector, refer to the following documentation:
- ECC CS/S4HANA CS integration https://help.sap.com/viewer/fsm_integration/Cloud/en-US/ecc-cs-s4hana-cs-integration.html
- Integration overview https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_FIELD_SERVICE_MANAGEMENT/fsm_integration_overview/integration-overview...
- Cloud Connector documentation https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/overview?homepageId=6029402
Enable 'External Id' flag under FSM connector Company definition settings
From SAP backend system, use menu option of FSM Connector, Customizing --> Objects --> Company --> Company Definition (Transaction Code: /PACG/ECM_COMP).
FSM Connector Company Definition
By enabling the External Id flag, you can switch on sending the External Id from the FSM connector to FSM.
Enable External Id from FSM Connector settings
Implement BAdi methods to provide ID mapping between SSAM & FSM:
Mobile Application Integration Framework (MAIF), which supports SAM backend integration features, provides different BAdi options to determine cross-referencing of key fields between FSM Connector and FSM Cloud system. The Badi /MERP/CA_FSM_CROSSREF_BADI is delivered for both ERP & S/4HANA system to support this feature with following interface methods.
BAdi Interface for FSM Id mapping
The following code samples are an example, you may need to make additional adjustments for your environment.
- Add local method GET_COMPID to determine the FSM company Id. This method required for the GET_EMPLOYEE_IDS BADI method in Step2. This method returns the following data:
Import Parameter: iv_account TYPE /pacg/ecm_cloudaccount. Return Parameter: rv_compid TYPE /pacg/ecm_compid.
METHOD get_compid.
DATA: lv_string1 TYPE string,
lv_string2 TYPE string,
lv_account TYPE string,
lv_fsmaccount TYPE /pacg/ecm_cloudaccount,
lv_fsmcompany TYPE /pacg/ecm_cloudid,
lv_compid TYPE /pacg/ecm_compid,
ls_cacc TYPE /pacg/ecm_cacc.
lv_account = iv_account.
SPLIT lv_account AT '&account=' INTO lv_string1 lv_string2.
SPLIT lv_string2 AT '&company=' INTO lv_string1 lv_string2.
lv_fsmaccount = lv_string1.
lv_fsmcompany = lv_string2.
ls_cacc = /pacg/ecm_cl_d_access=>get_cloudcomp_definition(
iv_cloudaccount = lv_fsmaccount
iv_cloudid = lv_fsmcompany ).
rv_compid = ls_cacc-compid.
ENDMETHOD.- Implement BAdi method /MERP/IF_CA_FSM_CROSSREF_BADI~GET_EMPLOYEE_IDS:
This method is a prerequisite for saving geolocations captured from SAP SAM to the SAP FSM planning and scheduling board.The method must return the FSM internal Employee ID(s) (Field id of the Field Service Management Person entity) based on the personnel number(s) provided.Use the importing parameter IO_ACI_SERVICE to execute a service call to Field Service Management for retrieving the id based on the code in the following code example.
NOTE: The assumption is that the ExternalId field for the ‘Person’ entity in FSM is populated with the internal format of the Personnel number in SAP. If this is not the case, then the lv_cloud_name may need to be used to query the ExternalId.
This method returns the following data:
- ET_OBLNK: Object link table that has the unique Object IDs in Field Service Management for all the Personnel numbers specified in IT_PERNR with the following fields populated:
- OBJECT_KEY: Personnel number in the back end (LOW property in the range table)
- EXT_OBJECT_KEY: Object Id of the Employee/Person in Field Service Management.

Starting release SSAM2511, SSAM supports SAP S4HANA and SAP Field Service Management integration for Plant Maintenance Orders using SAP Cloud Integration(SCI). The prerequisite to use it in SSAM is that the SAP Cloud Integration is configured for Plant Maintenance Orders. More details can be found here.
By default, SSAM supports Proaxia integration for Plant Maintenance & Customer Service orders. To switch to SAP Cloud Integration, add the following parameter to the SAM_FSM Server configuration which has been already defined as part of the FSM integration configuration.
