Liquid UI for SAP GUI
Challenges
Accessing work orders and equipment hierarchy required navigating multiple screens – Technicians moved through several SAP screens to request work, view work orders, and check functional location hierarchy.
Work order analysis required manual review – Planners and schedulers manually reviewed work orders to determine priorities and material availability.
Complex SAP screens slowed maintenance data capture – Multiple fields and catalog choices made entering failure codes, system effects, and detection methods time-consuming.
Maintenance tasks required memorizing SAP transactions – Personnel needed to remember multiple SAP t-codes and inputs across different maintenance scenarios.
With Liquid UI, we were able to accumulate more data to create the reports we needed to meet our reliability goals.
Solution
Role-based SAP PM dashboards – Technicians, planners, and supervisors access assigned work orders and maintenance tasks from customized dashboards.
Simplified SAP PM navigation – Unnecessary screen elements were removed and navigation was simplified.
Direct access to equipment hierarchy and work requests – Custom buttons allow users to navigate functional locations and related work orders quickly.
Simplified breakdown notification entry – Long text descriptions were replaced with radio buttons and structured selections.
Launchpads for common SAP PM transactions – Transactions such as IH01, IH03, IW38, IW41, and CM25 are accessible from the main dashboard.
