Asset Reliability Engineering
Quickstart FMEA Assessments Using Strategy Assessments for Classes
Creating an FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) assessment from scratch can be time-consuming, but there's a smarter way to reuse existing strategy assessments to quickly build your failure data hierarchy.
You can quick start an FMEA assessment by copying failure data and recommendations from a Strategy Assessment for Class, filtered based on the class and failure data profile of the technical object.
Technical objects must share the same Class, Planning Plant, and Failure Data Profile
At least one released Strategy Assessment for Class exists for the selected class.
There are no duplicate failure modes between the source and FMEA assessment (to prevent copy failure).
Watch the video for more information and see the SAP Help Portal Quick Start of FMEA Assessments Using Strategy Assessments for Classes.
Specifying and Tracking Recommendation Origins
Being able to track or maintain recommendation origins enhances transparency and decision-making. Whether recommendations stem from legal/regulatory requirements, hazard operations, preventive maintenance reviews, quality standards or another source, specifying origins ensures better traceability and you can maintain multiple origins for each recommendation.
Origins are maintained in SAP S/4HANA. Once the recommendation is created, the object page opens in edit mode, where you can modify origins as long as the recommendation status is "In Process", "Created", or "Implementation in Process".
You can comfortably find recommendations from a specific source, such as quality standards using the filter and also add the Origin column to the list view where you can see all origins of all recommendations in one view.

Asset Health Monitoring
Enhancing Maintenance Decisions with Long Texts in Alerts
You can create and utilize "long texts" for alert types to provide clear, actionable context, enabling users to make faster, more informed decisions, thus improving operational efficiency and reducing resolution times. The feature includes:
- Long Text Support: Alerts now include a long text field (up to 5000 characters) with rich text formatting, including clickable links, bullet points, and indentation.
- Contextual Information: Provide essential details to guide troubleshooting and decision-making, such as actions, measures, or failure patterns.
- Embedded URLs: Add links to additional resources or documentation.
- API Enhancements:
- Alert Type API: Read, create, and update long text for Alert Types.
- Alert API: Read, create, and update long text for individual Alert instances.
- Notification Integration: Pre-fill long text from Alerts into Notifications, with character count validation.

Rule Chaining for Sequential Execution*
Improve accuracy and reliability of rule execution by triggering rules based on the completion of other rules. This new feature eliminates timing issues and simplifies managing complex rule dependencies. We have introduced the following:
- Chained Rules: Rules can now execute sequentially with one rule triggering the next.
- Derivation & Aggregation: Chain both derivation and aggregation rules seamlessly.
- Monitoring Alerts: Add a monitoring rule at the end of the chain to raise alerts.
In addition to schedule-based execution, triggering rules through a chain ensures reliable indicator values and avoids race conditions, making rule management efficient and dependable.
With this enhancement, you gain better control and consistency in sequential processes. Watch the video:

New Navigation: Faster Access from Alerts to Technical Objects
We've introduced a new navigation feature that allows you to seamlessly access equipment details directly from alerts. The Technical Object in both the Alert List and Alert Details Page is now clickable, enabling direct navigation to the Explore Technical Objects app.
Benefits:
- Faster Access to relevant equipment information.
- Improved Efficiency by eliminating manual searches.
- Streamlined Navigation for quicker handling and analysis of alerts.
This update simplifies your workflow, making it easier than ever to analyze alerts and access the details you need.
Public APIs for Alert Type and Alert
The Manage Alerts and Manage Alerts Types API are available now for public consumption on the SAP Business Acceleration Hub.
- Manage Alerts: The API enables you to manage the alerts in SAP Asset Performance Management. Alerts help you with any potential failure that may occur or has already occurred for the technical object and helps to identify potential actions to be taken for the incoming alerts
- Manage Alert Types: This API represents categories of master data objects to plan maintenance activities for technical objects. Create alert types with a unique ID, descriptions, and define Origin and Severity to support informed decisions and effective action planning.
