Design Rationale

Functional Requirements

Admin App Tile

The tile for the Admin app will show the relevant parameter details for the user: Plant number and description, EWM Warehouse, EWM Resource, EWM Resource Group and EWM Warehouse Queue.

If the plant is not relevant for EWM then only the plant number and name will show on the Admin app tile.

See the Application Screens section for examples.

At the time of first logon for a user, if the user does not already have a plant parameter value, the plant on the app tile will show "<To be set>". The user must choose the required plant in the option "Set/Change Plant".

Admin App Start Screen

On starting the Admin app, the user will see their current parameters at the top of the screen and buttons allowing the applicable parameters to be changed and a button to allow the postings to be reported.

If the plant is not relevant for EWM then the only parameter option is to change the plant itself.

If the plant is relevant for EWM then there are also options to Set/Change the EWM Resource, the EWM Resource Group and the EQM Queue.

See the Application Screens section for examples.

EWM parameter changes will be made in the same way as available in the standard SAP Mobile Data Entry transaction for EWM.

Set/Change Plant

When choosing this option, the screen will show the current plant of the user and a field to allow the user to choose a new plant.

The user will be prompted to choose a plant from a drop down list that shows all Syensqo plants.

The plant of the user will be stored using the standard SAP Parameter ID WRK.

At the time of first logon for a user, if the user does not already have a plant parameter value, the plant on the app tile will show "<To be set>". The user must choose the required plant in the option "Set/Change Plant".

When the user selects a new plant, the user must have display access for the plant. Check object M_MSEG_WMB for Activity 03 and the selected plant. If no access, show the message "No authorization for plant <9999>".

View Postings

All postings made from Logistics Mobility Solution apps will be stored in a custom table, as described in the functional specification ERP-1003 Central Functions - General. 

This View Postings option will list all the postings made by the user for today's date, sorted by time descending.

All the fields stored in the custom table will be shown: App name, plant, warehouse, document, userid, date, time, SAP message type, SAP message.

Filters will allow the user to filter by App name, plant and SAP Message Type (e.g. to show only errors).

A date field (defaulted to today's date) can be changed to dates in the past, to allow the user to see older postings if needed.

Set/Change EWM Resource

When choosing this option, the screen will show the current EWM resource and a field to allow the user to change to a new resource from a drop-down list.

When changing resources, first a logoff event needs to be posted for the current resource, followed by a login event for the new resource.

To log off a user from a resource, you use the http method POST to call the LogoffFromWarehouseResource function import and update the WarehouseResource entity.

To log on a user to a resource, you use the http method POST to call the LogonToWarehouseResource function import and update the status of the WarehouseResource entity.

Set/Change EWM Group (Resource Group)

When choosing this option, the screen will show the current EWM resource group and a field to allow the user to change to a new resource group from a drop-down list.

The post the EWM Resource Group change, use the standard SAP Mobile Data Entry app for reference.

Transaction /SCWM/RFUI. Menu: 05 Internal Processes / 05 Resource Management / 02 Change Resource Group.

Set/Change EWM Queue

When choosing this option, the screen will show the current EWM Queue and a field to allow the user to choose to change to a new Queue from a drop-down list.

The post the EWM queue change, use the standard SAP Mobile Data Entry app for reference.

Transaction /SCWM/RFUI. Menu: 05 Internal Processes / 05 Resource Management / 01 Change Queue

Error Handling

Any error back from SAP from the updates made by this app are to be displayed to the user in a pop-up window, requiring confirmation. e,g, If an update to the user's EWM resource fails, due to that resource already being used by another user.
