 What is fleet management

Fleet management is a solution, not a module

Contributions from several SAP modules:

„ Plant Maintenance
„ Asset Accounting
„ Financials
„ Controlling
„ Materials Management
„ Human Capital Management
„ ………

 View profiles

Fleet are simply equipment with a fleet profile

allocated to the equipment category.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 8

 Fleet view profile

The screen group for fleet makes the fleet

sub-screens available for configuration.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 9

 Categories and Object types

View profile allocation per fleet object type.

Default equipment categories can be defined for fleet Object types.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 10

 Fleet user defined attributes

Fluid types are used to default

materials in the fuel entry transaction.

Engine Type and Fleet Usage are used

to group fleet objects.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 11

 User exits

There are user exits specifically for the FLEET segment of the
equipment record.

„ ITOB0003 - PM: Customer Include subscreen for fleet object data

„ ITOB0004 - PM: Customer Exit fleet identification data: Checks

The FLEET table has an include CI_FLEET for extending the FLEET
master data.

These fields are available in the fleet list displays

 Units of measure

The units of measure are key to the correct calculation of

consumption.

All uom’s are defined as a derivation of the SI unit for the

dimension concerned e.g. length is meter but can have kilometer
or mile unit.

Measurement documents are stored in the unit of the dimension SI

unit. This makes it exceptionally easy to work with units of
measure.

 How it works

The simplest way to describe the consumption calculation is:

Fuel unit / Work unit

The fuel unit may be volume or mass

The work unit may be distance or time.

Note: All units are based on SI and converted as required. If the unit of
measure has the inverse dimension the system will take that into
account in standard calculations. PMIS calculated key figures will need
to be correctly defined.

See SAP support note 563832 for detailed explanation as to how

the consumption calculation works.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 22

 Valid consumption units (Distance)

Define SI unit for

dimension of
calculation.

Define units for calculation.

Must have the same
dimension as the SI unit.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 23

 Valid consumption units (Time)

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 24

 Counter definition

Measuring point positions

are used to determine
measuring point usage.
(field PSORT)

Each measuring point position

is assigned one or more
purposes that control how the
position is utilized.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 25

 Valid counter purposes.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 26

 Consumption calculation key

Specify the following:

Unit for consumption
The Fuel counter
The Primary counter
Short term average calculation
Long term average calculation

The primary counter is the counter used to measure the “effort”

performed e.g. miles traveled, hours operated.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 27

 Replacement relevant counters

When replacement relevant counters are defined the

current readings are displayed in the master data screen.

 Fuel entry

The fuel entry transaction performs the following functions:

„ Enters measurement documents for counters.

„ Performs goods movements if required.

„ Posts costs to assigned object (Standing order, Settlement

order WBS Element, Cost center, Asset).

Transaction is “IFCU”.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 32

 Fuel entry (Transaction IFCU)

Warning or error if
tolerance breached.

Transaction “IFCU” is used for individual vehicle fuel

entry.
This transaction utilizes BAPI’s and can be used as an
example for a user developed entry screen for mass
entry.
 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 33
 Tolerance and Gas station

Tolerance checks are used to

determine if entered counter
readings are consistent with
the average reading +/- the
tolerance defined.

Gas stations are defined storage locations

within a plant. Materials can be defined
for each consumable per gas station with
a default value designated.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 34

 Fuel entry parameters

Default materials for

fluid types.

Default cost posting

for fuel issue.

 SAP AG 2003, Configuring Fleet Management in R/3 Enterprise, Kevin Morrow / 35

 Where to set the defaults

The fuel and lubricants sub-screen (230) is

used to set the default values for entry.

If it is missing check your fleet view profile.

Calculations are performed at line level.

Calculated value totals are also calculated rather

than summed as in standard columns.
