If the periods of your operations or exercises change, you can shift the periods of operational structures and exercise targets mapped in the system accordingly.

In the operations and exercises calendar, you can evaluate the force providers and command responsibility for force elements, operations, or exercises. You can also perform additional evaluations through assignments to projects and maintenance orders. Furthermore, the Gantt charts in the Structures Workbench application allow you to display organizational data in calendar form.

When copying structures, you can simultaneously copy multiple, parallel structures to multiple other structures. The system thus facilitates the mapping of consistent organizational structures.

You can plan the equipment for a force element with buildings and land (authorized infrastructure) and compare this plan with the actual equipment (actual infrastructure) in an authorized/actual comparison.

You can copy material assignments or infrastructure assignments of a force element or position to another object of the same type.

You can let the system create provisions packages or equipment packages automatically based on known consumption values.

To describe the properties of an equipment package in more detail, you can assign an external material group to the underlying material master record directly in the application for processing equipment packages.

You can specify a number for assignments of provisions packages to force elements.

You can display an overview of the assignments to material objects for selected force elements.

As part of the process for assigning personnel to positions in operational structures and exercise targets, you can propose suitable persons and then convert these proposals into active assignments.

When creating positions, you can assign jobs directly. You can also create positions using a copy function.

You can enter the flight training activities completed by personnel and transfer this data to the HR master data. You can then derive qualifications for these persons from the training data.

You can weight relationships and assignments and calculate the readiness of force elements based on these weightings.

To determine the exact purpose of task organizations, you can distinguish their relationships based on the type of task organization.

When assigning technical objects to force elements, you can distinguish between the assignment to the owner (organizational assignment), utilizer (stock), and holder (change authorization).

You can assign qualifications to force elements, positions, and jobs to map requirements.

You can shift the validity period of task organizations and material assignments to remove any data inconsistencies.

When you define and display the validity periods (to the minute) of relationships to task organizations, support relationships, and technical objects, the system takes into account the selected time zone.

The system can pass on address assignments of an assigned business entity or higher-level force element to assigned force elements.

In addition to the master WBS element assignment, you can also assign additional WBS elements to force elements to map their involvement in projects.

A workflow is provided that notifies the agent responsible when the assignment of a force provider changes. The recipient can then make any changes required.

You can connect force elements and equipment packages to the classification system to describe their properties in more detail.

For selected force elements, you can display an overview of the services provided by other force elements. You can also replace service providers automatically.

The system stores task organizations and support relationships, as well as assignments to technical objects, material objects, and Real Estate Management objects in a uniform table framework.

You can export force element data to PDF forms. When doing so, you can also create interactive PDF forms whose data you can edit externally. You can then import these changes back into the system.

You can import external organizational data (for example, in XML format) into the system and convert it into corresponding data for force elements, positions, and assignments.

To delimit or delete activated object properties and assignments, you can perform an approval process.

A function is available that allows you to determine and display all measures (approval processes for organizational changes) in which a selected user was or is involved.

You can switch the system for force elements using workflows and checks that are triggered automatically in the issuing and receiving ERP systems.

In decentralized systems, you can create task organizations to map location-based organizational structures. The system distributes information about decentralized task organizations to all relevant systems in your system landscape.

In Customizing, you can specify how the names of cost centers and profit centers are assigned automatically.

When a profit center is created, the system initially blocks postings from being made to it and then removes this block in the approval process.

The system displays the assignments of accounting objects to the force element on separate tab pages.

In decentralized Warehouse Management Systems, you can operate offline warehouse management.

For relocations and transportations, you can use a relocation monitor to monitor the stocks, logistical follow-up actions, and so on for selected force elements.

You can post mass losses caused during transportations or in warehouses.

You can get a quick overview of procurement processes by displaying the document flow (from purchase requisition to purchase order, right through to the delivery) in a hierarchical tree structure.

In the Planning Workbench, the system can display serial numbers to distinguish between items of material.

In Customizing, you can specify whether you want to include restricted batches in the ATP check.

Enhancements for distributed materials management are available for multisystem landscapes and cross-system material planning. For more information, see Cross-System Materials Management.

An alternative method to determine a supplier is available for the initial supply of force elements.

You can define NATO stock numbers and organize these numbers into groups and classes.

You can relocate technical objects for a force element to another force element within a system and externally through change of ownership, utilizer, or holder.

In the central system, you can edit settlement rules for maintenance orders from decentralized systems.

You can create maintenance books as PDF files for equipment and master equipment so that you can view maintenance data outside the system.

Logbook enhancements are available in the Aerospace & Defense Industry Solution (IS-AD-LBK) component, which you can use to edit flight and aircraft data or perform technical debriefings, for example.

Using a central event monitor, you can display corresponding flight and maintenance events for selected master equipment and check availability.

You can enter an aircraft accident as a PDF file with all the relevant data for the aircraft involved.

You can group sites into areas.

You can enter flight training activities completed by persons.

You can adjust the functions in the Status Board and Controlled Usage Rate applications to meet your requirements.

The system can assign authorizations to users that work with systems in your system landscape automatically after every organizational change.

You can compare changes to user master data that you made when working offline in decentralized systems after you have restored communication to the Central User Administration and remove any data inconsistencies as necessary.

You can exchange data between the systems in your system landscape and SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI).

You can define the organizational unit responsible for synchronization problems and assign clients to CCMS mechanisms directly in the production system.

In Customizing, you can define which reports are started in the system after synchronization has been completed successfully.

You can adapt the transport functions for Software Change Management to meet your own requirements.

Additional functions are available for optimizing number range monitoring.

You can use product data replication (PDR) to distribute object types such as: reference functional locations, reference measuring points, partners, approvals, master warranties, production resources and tools, confirmations, relocations, relocation steps, and loading objects.

The following enhancements are also available:

You can archive the following objects/data:

Data segments for extracting error logs (relevant only if you use SAP Mobile Defense & Security) and purchase requisitions are available.
