For a focussed start, check out my video highlighting the following innovations:
As a key user, you can extend the apps
and the OData APIs
with custom fields according to your business needs.

With the Manage Maintenance Plans (F5325) app and Manage Maintenance Items (F5356) app, you can now assign an order type or a notification type for a maintenance item in the initial screen while creating the maintenance item. The order type or the notification type is based on the maintenance plan category.
Click on the next figure or the link below and watch the system demo:

Earlier, you had to go to the object page of a maintenance item to assign the order type.
With the Maintenance Plan Scheduling Overview (W0192) app, below 3 additional fields will be available to filter the report output:
You can now use planned date and planned start date to filter maintenance plan scheduling details. You can also view the planned date and planned start date in the maintenance plan scheduling details.

The new analytical CDS view for maintenance order confirmations (I_MaintOrdConfirmationCube) can be used to build personalized analytical reports with aggregation or drill-down capabilities for maintenance order confirmations.

With the past release, we introduced the Edit Orders quick action in the Find Maintenance Orders app for mass editing general order header data like order description, maintenance activity type, priority, and system condition (see my 2308 blog post).
Now with the 2402 release, sections and fields for mass edit have been enhanced in the Find Maintenance Order app. The following table lists the new section names as column titles (red text color) and the corresponding section fields in the columns below:
Reference Object | Location Data | Additional Data | Responsibilities |
Equipment | Location | Responsible Cost Center | Main Work Center |
Functional Location | Plant Section | Main Work Center Plant | |
Material | ABC Indicator | Planner Group | |
Serial Number | Person Responsible |
The mass edit will be performed as a background job to ensure a good system performance.

Note, that using scope item Maintenance Resource Scheduling (43R) requires an additional SAP S/4HANA Cloud license.
For better transparency, the IDs and texts for operations and suboperations are now displayed in two separate
columns.
This applies to the following apps:
The data is also shown in two columns when you do download it to a spreadsheet in the Manage Work Center
Utilization and Manage Schedules apps.
Figure 8: Separation of operation and suboperation columns
When you download data to a spreadsheet using the Export feature in the Manage Work Center Utilization and Manage Schedules app, you now have an additional Export As option where you can specify different attributes:
For the Export and Export As features, fields containing the date and time are downloaded in the user’s time
zone as defined on the profile settings.
Figure 9: Improved Download to a Spreadsheet
The feature for setting the planned start date for one or more operations is now also available in the context
menu. You can access directly on the shape for the relevant operation or operations you have selected in the
chart. Previously, it was only possible to do this for maintenance orders.
This is not available for suboperations, as suboperations are scheduled at the level of the main operations.
