[ Mechanic’s Cockpit Learning Points
- What was needed
 Single point of entry for all mechanics’ SAP
needs.
 Single screen to create and/or complete
ALL ORDERS. (Including all systemic
actions (labor recording, material
movements including warehouse
management, catalog info, etc)
 Cockpit provides only what the users need,
with no extra or confusing screens.

[ Mechanic Cockpit Rationale
 Mechanics are often the least trained in SAP.
 Mechanics often have significant turnover.
 SAP screens can be cumbersome for non-super
users, especially in the PM area.
 There are too many transactions to complete a
work order, especially when user statuses are
desired.
 Emergency orders commonly are needed after
hours and are the most susceptible to improper
or no documentation.
 The easier it is to document, the more likely it will
be done consistently.

[ Mechanic’s Cockpit Technical Backbone

accessing the SAP functionality through the use of
standard SAP BAPIs (Business Application
Programming Interfaces)

releases
 Easy updating capabilities for future requirements
and needs
 Integrated user status management with standard
SAP functions to drive process enforcement.
