Everyone is familiar with SAP, the enterprise resource planning software company, but few people know what SAP Mobile Asset Management is.
This post will explain SAP Mobile Asset Management and why it’s crucial for businesses and their work order management.
We’ll also provide you with a list of the top SAP Mobile Asset Management features and how to use them to increase productivity in your organization.
What is SAP Service and Asset Manager, and What are its Key Features?
SAP Service and Asset Manager is a mobile application designed to manage work orders, notifications, condition monitoring, and material usage. In addition, the application provides time management and failure analysis.
SAP Service and Asset Manager enables remote personnel to access, complete, and manage their assigned work orders and notifications via mobile devices, regardless of connectivity. With SAP Service and Asset Manager, they have immediate access to SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP data, such as work lists, short and long text, repair history, and material availability. With more knowledge, staff operate more efficiently, have more work time, better their first-time-fix rates, and extend the life of assets by performing more preventive maintenance.
SAP Service and Asset Manager includes the SAP Mobile Add-On by default. Since an SAP ABAP add-on installs into the SAP namespace of your SAP system, the SAP Mobile Add-On provides tight connection and simplified deployment without interfering with your existing SAP system customizations or standard SAP objects. It enables complete configuration, management, and visibility of SAP Service and Asset Manager from within the SAP system infrastructure.

When you pick Attachments, the details screen displays the available download attachments.
The option of downloading attachments is typically enabled by default. You can adjust the download choice via the Configuration Panel based on the kind of work order. If the job has attachments, the initial sync retrieves only limited information about them. Only upon user request is associated content downloaded to the device via a push mechanism. All attachments are stored in a centralized repository and administered via the Configuration Panel.
