Note

The Open PS Suite of programs is developed independedly of the R/3 release cycle. This means that this documentation may be outdated. You can download the lastest documentation from the PS Homepage in SAPNet.

Use

With this program you can use a 3Com Palm to confirm activities in a SAP R/3 project.

You download the work details (planned, actual and forecast work) of network activities from the SAP R/3 Project System to a 3Com Palm III or higher. You can then call up the activities on your Palm and enter confirmations without access to the R/3 system. When you have access to the system again, you can then upload (sync) the data from your Palm to the R/3 Project System.

In projects the people responsible often have to work away from the office. Depending on the type of project this could mean, for example, a construction site or at the customers' premises. Previously the person responsible would visit the site and note the progress made. This notes could be on paper or in electronic form, such as in a notebook or in a handheld device. However the data still had to be transferred to the R/3 system by hand in the office. Now you can use Open PS for Palm to "take" your project to the site and make your confirmations there. When you get back to the office, all you have to do is press a button and your project in the R/3 system is updated automatically.

Features

With Open PS for Palm you can enter the actual work, the degree of processing, and the remaining work. You can also stipulate whether a confirmation is a final confirmation. At present (Release 1.0) it is not possible to enter other information, such as the actual dates and duration, wage type, personnel details, or goods movements, that can be entered in an individual confirmation in R/3. It is also possible to send confirmations using E-mail.

Activities

  1. You install the necessary software on your PC as described in the installation instructions.
  2. Before you use Open PS for Palm to confirm activities the first time, you must enter the relevant system data (see Entering System Data).
  3. You select the activities to transfer to your Palm in R/3 and then download them (see Downloading Activities to a Palm Pilot).
  4. You can then make your confirmations in your Palm. These confirmations can be partial confirmations or final confirmations (see Making Confirmations with the Palm).

The next time you perform a 'hot sync'', Open PS for Palm automatically uploads the confirmation data to R/3.
