Business Function That You Also Have to Activate |
Not relevant |
With this business function, you can use the functions for supporting flight operations from the Defense Forces & Public Security (DFPS) industry solution, without having to activate the related Enterprise Extension EA-DFP in switch framework Customizing (transaction code SFW5). You only need to install the EA-DFPS 604 ECC software component to be able to use the functions for supporting flight operations with this business function.
The functions for supporting flight operations are used to plan, control, and coordinate flight operations, execute and control maintenance, and for administration. All functions are integrated into the Plant Maintenance (PM) ERP component, which minimizes the training required for the new functions. It is also possible to implement the functions for supporting flight operations for plant maintenance operations that are not related to aircraft and flights.
Note the following dependencies between this business function and the EA-DFP Enterprise Extension:
You cannot activate this business function and the EA-DFP Enterprise Extension. Once you have activated either of them, you cannot deactivate them. This means that:
Customers that have activated this business function cannot activate the EA-DFP Enterprise Extension.
Customers that have activated the EA-DFP Enterprise Extension cannot activate this business function.
Therefore, before you activate either of them, check which of the two functionalities meet your requirements.
Note that some of the DFPS-specific functions for Support for Flight Operations are not contained in the features of this business function.
