Features

Organizational Flexibility

For the process of equipping persons with material, you can use Organizational Flexibility functions to define the corresponding authorized materials for persons and evaluate the equipment of persons:

  • When defining the authorized materials for positions, jobs, and force elements, you can specify whether the assignment of a material planning object or a material container for the process for the equipment of persons in terms of materials is to be used for planning authorized personal equipment or authorized functional equipment:

    • When assigning material planning objects and material containers to positions or jobs, you can choose whether these assignments are to be used to plan the equipment of persons in terms of materials as authorized personal equipment or authorized functional equipment.

    • When assigning material planning objects and material containers to force elements, you can choose whether these assignments are to be used to plan the equipment of persons in terms of materials as authorized personal equipment or authorized functional equipment, or whether these assignments are not to be used in this process (structural equipment).

  • You can use the Equipment Status application to show, for a key date for selected persons, a comparative overview of the authorized materials of the equipment in terms of materials according to infotype 0800 (Material Assignment) relevant to these persons.

  • You can use the Monitoring Equipment application to evaluate infotype 0800 (Material Assignment) for any periods.

Materials Management

Materials Management contains four applications for the process of issuing and returning personal and functional equipment of persons:

  • Issue of Personal Equipment

  • Return of Personal Equipment

  • Issue of Functional Equipment

  • Return of Functional Equipment

You can use the applications for issuing personal and functional equipment to issue personal and functional equipment for a required period in three steps. You can create the list of materials to be issued either manually or based on a person’s authorized material equipment.

You can use the applications for returning personal and functional equipment to return personal and functional equipment in three steps.

In the first step for each application, you select the personnel for whom equipment is to be issued or returned. In the second step, you select the materials concerned for each person, and in the third step, you post your selection. For issued and returned materials, the system can create an issuing or return document as a PDF file for each person.

The applications are included in the Business Package for Defense Forces & Public Security as worksets.
