Offline Time Entry for Service Engineer

Flexibility through Efficient Field Service Management

Offline recording is a supplement to the SAP Customer Service (CS) module that offers service employees deployed in the field the option of recording their confirmation data and materials offline, i.e. outside SAP and without a connection to a server. An interactive PDF form is used here, the service report, which is generated in SAP on the basis of service orders and can be sent to the employees by e-mail. Hereby, two processes are supported: One for the confirmation on the basis of an existing service order and one for the confirmation with service order creation.

Employees deployed in the field can record their feedback data offline. The focus here is on forms that are generated on the basis of service orders and made available to employees on a mobile basis. A centralized cockpit in SAP ERP provides ongoing monitoring and subsequent processing of the confirmation data entered offline, where an overview of the processing status of each individual form is provided at any time. Incoming forms are processed automatically, whereas exceptional situations occurring in background processing are reported by e-mail. In addition, the application is flexibly expandable and easily adaptable to requirements beyond standard functionalities.
