sw Ve ©”) = as » Configuration in process manufacturing is generally the same as in dis- crete manufacturing. However, the Process Management functionality demands in-depth coverage as it is unique to process manufacturing only. 4 Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing The configuration basics of process manufacturing are similar to those in discrete manufacturing. For example, the steps to defining order types and assigning number ranges are same in both production types (discrete and process). Simi- larly, the steps to define screen layout for confirmation is also same in both pro: duction types. We recommend that you read Chapter 3 and also Chapter 6 for an in-depth understanding of the configuration settings and business processes, respectively. The focus of this chapter is primarily on the configuration that is unique only to process manufacturing, For example, the master recipe profile is unique to pro- cess manufacturing only. At the same time, this chapter gives extensive coverage to the configuration area of Process Management. We'll start by covering the standard settings and tools that you can use to opti- mize most of your configuration work related to Process Management. We then cover process messages and process message categories followed by control reci- pes and process instruction sheets. Next, we'll discuss the process instructions, types, and categories, as well as how the system can facilitate several configura- tion steps using wizards. Using the scope of generation functionality, you can fur- ther reduce the data maintenance efforts involved in Process Management. We'll also cover background jobs for sending control recipes and how you can send process messages back to the SAP ERP system as scheduled (background) jobs The concepts and the basics that you'll learn will enable you to implement a newer and user-friendlier functionality of Process Management known as Execution 1334. | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing Steps (XSteps). You can also transition from Process Management to XSteps and still use all of the configuration steps that you'll learn in this chapter. We'll also show how the entire configuration undertaken so far facilitates the quick definition, simulation, and activation of process manufacturing cockpits We present a simple example of how you can use a self-defined process instruc- tion type and incorporate its details in the process instruction sheet. When the system sends process messages back to its predefined destination, it also sends the details of the self-defined process instruction characteristic. Let's get started 4.1 Master Data in Process Industries The master data in process manufacturing is similar to the master data of discrete manufacturing, For detailed configuration settings and its business processes, refer to Chapter 3 and Chapter 6, respectively. | The following master data are specific to process industries and will be the main topics covered in this section: > Resource > Materials list (BOM) | > Master recipe > Production version The resource in process manufacturing is similar to the work center in discrete manufacturing. The creation of the materials list in process manufacturing is sim- ilar to the BOM in discrete manufacturing, so we won't cover these master data items here (see Chapter 3 and Chapter 6). For process industries, it's mandatory to have a master recipe and production version in the system. While the configu- ration of master recipe has some uniqueness and is covered in this chapter, the creation of production version is once again the same for discrete manufacturing | and is therefore not covered here. BaVerse SS Gooaaogcg ‘Master Data in Process Industries 4.1.4 Master Recipe Profile Although most of the details in the master recipe profile are the same as in rout- ing, the one exception is the option available for Process Management. Depend. ing on the master recipe profile that you use during the creation of the master recipe, the system offers the following options for Process Management: > PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS > XSTEPS (EXECUTION STEPS) > XSTEPS OPTIONAL Ifyou choose XSters Optionat during the master recipe creation, the system pro- vides you the option to either select PRocESS INstRUCTIONS or XSrEPs. You can't use both of them at the same time. Also, if you previously used process instruc. tions in the master recipe and now want to transition to XSteps, the system issues a warning message that you can't revert back to process instructions after you save the master recipe with XSteps activated. To set up the master recipe profile, follow the configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + MASTER DATA + MASTER RECIPE + DEFINE PROFILE WITH DEFAULT VALUES, or use Transaction OPN1. Choose Prorite/Recire on the initial screen, which takes you to the overview of the mas- ter recipe profile with three entries as shown in Figure 4.1. a channed en SDefoult Yaties Ler ts PE eve: OH OR RE eo ecmendsny focal to) foot mindy 126. emery Ostap een Figure 4.1 Overview Screen for Default Master Recipe Values Select PROFILE PI01_XS and choose the Deratts icon, which leads to the screen shown in Figure 4.2.

Notice the PROCESS INSTRUCTION MAINTE- Nance dropdown in the PROCESS MANAGEMENT area, and the available options, including XSTEPS OPTIONAL. 35 4aConfiguration Basics of Process Manufacturing Change View DP Now ents De Prot TOL 3S voces reity Stop ton nation | conta koy ito lnascer seciperreccess order perf. ernart ood Fy (vir fee tol Libr a = Aeon x Relationship view (Successcr *| Level of datat ry Pisces manmgoraot Process retructon manterarce {mocess renew secstoné frm bnetne ter a hsrens Ae jens} Rs Tess corona Picrerement aia) Ratoriboa ss con fro] ee (ae — portoncecey (Ops iad dn nooo FE | Phase dtioy hase delayed a mack rodoin nhs — Ralston dinly _(Syratorste Spe - Figure 4.2 Detailed Screen for the Master Recipe Profile 4.1.2 Task list Assignment to Material Types The task list type for a master recipe is 2. When you create a process order and the system looks for the relevant master recipe, it looks for task list type 2 to assign it to process order. A task list consists of operations, phases, activities, control keys, and the relationship to the bill of materials (BOM). If your company has material types other than those available in a standard SAP ERP system, then you need to maintain the task list relationship for each material type To define the task list assignment to the material type, follow the configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES © 136‘Master Data in Process Industries MASTER DATA + MASTER RECIPE + ASSIGN MATERIAL Tyres.

Task List Assignment with Material Type 4.1.3. Task List Status ‘The standard SAP ERP system offers task list statuses to cater to various business scenarios, For example, when you are in the initial stages of defining the master recipe of a material, you can set the status to 1, which is for Crramion. The system won't make this task list available for selection during process order creation or in production version creation. You can also have a task list that’s specific for prod- uct costing, and in that case, it becomes available for costing purposes but not for production. To define a task list status at the header level, follow the configuration (Transac- tion SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION: PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES * MASTER DATA + MASTER RECIPE * DATA FOR THE RECIPE HEADER + DEFINE RECIPE STATUS, OF use Transaction OP46. Figure 4.4 shows that the task Uist status (Star) 4 enables you to perform all of the steps, stich as using it in production (RetINp), using it for costing (Cst™6), and performing consistency checks (CONs.cix.). You can perform a consistency check during master recipe creation to enable the system to point out any deviations or shortcomings in the master recipe that you can deal with before saving. You can even save a master recipe in case the system issues warning or error messages that occur during consistency checks, and then you can correct them later. 37 4aConfiguration Basics of Process Manufacturing oe ston chase obese fr ocr Releasod fer cost Reload cones) Figure 4.4 Task List Status 4.2 Order Type-Dependent Parameters ‘To have better control of your order types, you can create different order types within a plant. For example, you may have one order type for finished goods and another for semi-finished goods or a third one to capture rework details from normal production. Each order type can have a separate number range and its pum order type-wise settings. Further, you can control authotization to usere based on order type and plant combinati you make settings that are applicable eac specific order type and plant combination.

When a user creates a process order, the system will require it to be approved before it allows the user to release it. Similarly, if you set up automatic process order release during creation (in the production scheduling profile), the system overrules the automatic release settings if you've set up the approval process (see Section 4.3 on the production scheduling profile).

Planning jn the Ptannine tab, You can select the Scear checkbox if your business process has any such need. Normally in process industries, the scrap option or its ecord, ing finds less use. For example, in the fertilizer industry, any visible or overflow material (spilled-over material) is automatically sent back in the production pro- cess chain, so there is no scrap recording during production. You can also assign the relevant inspection type for in-process inspection in the PLANNING tab, as well as make settings for batch determination, 4.2.3 Implementation Im the Imptementarion tab, make sure to select all of the relevant checkboxes, especially for the SHor FLOOR INFORMATION SysTEM and DOCUMENTATION on Goons Movemrnt areas. If you don't select the checkboxes, the system won't "update the Logistics Information System (LIS), nor will you have the provision to see the documented goods movements (goods issuance of receipt) for the process orders. The documented goods movements in the process order information sys- tem (Transaction COOISP) also won't show any details, 4.2.4 Cost Accounting In the Cost Accountine tab, we suggest that you coordinate with Controlling Cost Object Controlling) resource to ensure that the necessary configuration set, tings are in place, 43 Production Scheduling Profile The production scheduling profile in process manufacturing is similar to the one in discrete manufacturing, However, in process manufacturing, it provides the option to automatically generate the contzol recipe when you release a process order, A control recipe enables the process operator to récord important plant Parameters. We cover the details concerning control recipes in Section 4.4.1.

Creating a process order forms the basis for the generation of the control recipe (see Figure 4.8). The control recipe is sent to the process con- trol in the form of a process instruction sheet. The process operator not only fol- lows the instructions given in the process instruction sheet but also fills the process instruction (PD) sheet with relevant plant parameters and other important data and returns it either as a process message back to the SAP ERP system or to an external system.

The important terms used in Process Management are discussed in the following sections 4.4.1 Control Recipe Destination The control recipe destination specifies the technical address to which a control rec- ipe is transferred. An operation in a master recipe can have several phases, and each phase can have a different control recipe destination. In the process order, ‘you can create one control for each control recipe destination. Therefore, if there are three different phases, it's possible to have three different control recipe des- tinations (e.g., mixing, blending, and liquid ammonia sections). Typically, at the process order release, the system creates control recipes for each control recipe destination in the process order. All phases of a process order with the same con- trol recipe destination are combined into the same control recipe. A control rec- ipe destination defines whether the process instruction of a phase is transferred to an external system (process control system, PCS) or is converted to a Pl sheet for a line operator. It also specifies which system or line operator executes the process instructions of a phase. 4.4.2 Process Instruction Characteristic A released characteristic within a characteristic group is available for use in the process instruction. Process instruction characteristics are allocated to process instructions either directly in the master recipe or by process instruction cate- gory. Process instruction, together with the corresponding characteristic value, determines the information transferred or requested, that is, the status of the con- trol recipe. It also determines how the requested data is processed (e.g., the mes- sage category to be used to report the data). 4.4.3 Process Instruction Category The process instruction category specifies the type of process instruction (i.e., process parameter or process data request). It also specifies the characteristics of this process instruction, that is, information to be sent via this instruction.4 |. Configuration Bases of Process Manufacturing 4.4.4 Process Message Characteristic A released characteristic within the characteristic group is available for use in the Process messages. Process message characteristics are allocated to process mes- sage categories. Process message characteristics, together with the corresponding characteristic values, determine the content of the process message. The process ‘message can be sent to an external system, SAP Office Mail recipients, or custom- defined ABAP tables. 4.4.5 Process Message Category | The process message category specifies the characteristics to be allocated to a pro- cess message, that is, the information to be sent. It also specifies the message des- | tinations for the process message. Every process message sent via Process | Management must be assigned to a process message category. | 4.4.6 Process Instruction Sheet (PI Sheet) A Pl sheet is used as an input and output form for plant parameters and is custom- | izable according to individual production processes. This customized PI sheet is part of either configuration activity or master data management. A Pl sheet, due | to its intuitive features, can be used for many functions such as calling up a trans- action while remaining in a PI sheet, displaying documents, recording shift high- lights, posting a goods issue or goods receipt, undertaking confirmation of a phase, calculating results, and jumping to record results for quality inspections. To create a custom-process message or a custom-process instruction, you can leverage your knowledge and experience in creating characteristics in the classifi- cation system. The only difference between classification and process message/ | instruction creation is that the former doesn't offer the option to incorporate details specific to Process Management. In our example, we show how you can } use process instruction to fetch a field, Process ODER Finis Date, from the pro- | cess order automatically and integrate it in the PI sheet. Now let's discuss the important one-time settings that you need to make in your SAP ERP system to activate Process Management. This entails sequence steps, in which you can copy the standard settings delivered by the SAP ERP system to ‘your specific plant(). 144Process Management 4.4.7 Standard Settings and Tools The system offers a large number of standard process messages, process message categories, process instruction, and process instruction categories. These are all available in the SAP ERP system's plant 0001. You can copy all of these standard settings from plant 0001, except process instruction categories, which you need to copy manually. An easier way to perform this copy function is to do it with ref- erence to plant 0001 to your desired plants) You need to perform a few important steps in the right sequence to ensure that minimal work and effort are involved in integrating Process Management in your business processes. Use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES * PROCESS MANAGEMENT + STANDARD SETTINGS, as shown in Figure 4.9. ais sos ~ BB Surcaed setirgs * 1B) © sccpe medetred characteris +B @ sccp: nedotred Nesp Catoares Figure 4.9 Standard Settings in Process Management Next, follow these steps: 1. Use Transaction 023C to transport predefined characteristics from the SAP ERP system reference client, which is 0001, to your SAP ERP system client. The Cory OpsEcr Lists screen appears when you successfully perform the first step. 2. Access Transaction 022C to transport preconfigured process message catego- ries from the SAP ERP system reference plant 0001 to your plant(s). The screen shown in Figure 4.10 appears after you enter the target plant. 7 ee Jrecarine 3000 rede ines o3ect3 aber earn T= aw tiaraeiacinitre cea t Figure 4.10 Predefined Objects of Process Messages 44Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing 3. In our example, we enter the target plant as 3000. We use the Cory icon to copy it to our target plant. The system issues a warning message: "The SAP standard settings are copied to your target plant. Objects with identical names are overwritten. 4, When you see the Do you wanr To cory? message, click Yes. 5. Access Transaction CO60_VM to transport the Pl sheets display variants from the SAP reference plant to your login client. Make sure to select all of the available display variants, and choose Save before you exit the screen. Release Characteristics Group The SAP ERP system offers standard characteristics groups in Process Manage- ment, both for process instructions and for process messages. The system groups the process instruction characteristics in the group PPPI_01, whereas it groups the process message characteristics in the group PPPI_02. Whenever you create a self-defined process instruction or process message characteristic, you need to ensure that you assign them to the relevant characteristics group to enable it to work correctly. 7 ‘To ensure that you can see the characteristics groups (PPI_04 or PPPI_02) in the diop down, click on Customize Locat Layout (ot press. + [£2]) on the main screen, select OPTIONS « INTERACTION DESIGN » VISUALIZATION AND INTERACTION, and then choose SHOW KEYS WITHIN THE DROPDOWN USTS. When you implement Process Management, you need to ensure that you release the process instruction and process message groups to the requisite plants. To release process messages group, use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MANAGEMENT + PROCESS ‘MessaGes + DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS GROUPS FOR PROCESS MESSAGES * RELEASE FOR PROCESS MESSAGES, or use Transaction OO8C. To release a process instructions group, use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MANAGEMENT + PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS + DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS GROUPS FOR PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS « RELEASE FOR PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS, or use Transaction O09C. 146Process Messages | 4.5 If the process messages or process instructions groups aren't defined, available, 5 or released for your desired plant, you can copy them with reference to another 4 plant, where these are available and released. Further, to copy all settings from reference plant 0001 to your desired plant, use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS 2; INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MANAGEMENT + TOOLS + COPY SETTINGS BETWEEN PLANTS, oF use > Transaction 020C. In the ensuing screen, enter the reference plant, which is ~ "0001", and the target plant to which you want to copy the standard system's set- > tings. In our example, our target plant is 3000. s 4.5 Process Messages Process messages enable the process operator to send the requested data back to 2 the SAP ERP system, which then performs the necessary functions. For example, ‘you want the process operator to inform you (through process messages) about, the consumption (goods issuance) of all of the materials used in the production process (against process order). The process operator fills in the PI sheet, which contains the provision to record actual material consumption details and mark the status of the PI sheet as complete. The process operator then sends the process | message containing the consumption details to the process message destination Bj in the SAP ERP system, after which the system will perform the actual goods issu- . ance posting against the process order in the system. 9 | The system offers a large number of standard process messages and process mes- "| sage categories, but you can still define your own process messages to attend to >) specific business needs. For example, you might want specific information that 3 the system should send back to the SAP ERP system, based on the process opera- | tor's input in the PI sheet. ! In the following sections, we'll go through the details of how to create or define and set up a process message, Your first step is to create a process message char- S acteristic 4.5.1 Create a Process Message Characteristic oT Your first step is to use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path ProDUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MANAGEMENT + PROCESS MESSAGES + 2 147Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS FOR PROCESS MESSAGES + CREATE CHARACTERISTICS FOR PRO cess MessaGes, or you can use Transaction O25C. For our example, create process message characteristic ZPI_CREATION Datel, and define the characteristics group (CARs Grou? field) as PROCESS MESSAGE CHARAC- ropisric in the Basic DATA tab. We define the Data Tyre as Date. In Chapter 7, we show how you can use this self-defined process message in sending details back to the SAP ERP system. 4.5.2 Process Message Destination To create a new process messages destination, use configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MAN- AGEMENT + PROCESS MESSAGES + PROCESS MESSAGES DESTINATIONS + DEFINE AND SET Up PROCESS MESSAGES DESTINATIONS, oF use Transaction O03C. For our example, create a new process message DESTINATION PP10 for plant 3000 and then choose TARGET FIELDS/MESSAGE DESTINATIONS on the left-hand side of the screen, The CHANGE View screen shown in Figure 4.11 appears. Here the,system allows you to enter the process message characteristic, “ZPI_CREATION_DATE1", which you created in the previous step. .

When the system receives information from process messages, it processes them in the SAP ERP system using function modules. For external systems, the process messages with information are sent back to the SAP ERP system using remote function call (RFC) connections, You can select the InpivibuAL checkbox (not shown) if you want the 48PPO OCOGGECEGECCEGECECEEEGBEEEESEEESE6OGSEGSEGG EU! ro Process Messages system to process each process message individually. This option is generally used in complex process messages involving function module destinations. ‘We suggest that you engage a Basis (SAP NetWeaver) resource to manage the configu- ration of RFC destinations. 4.5.3 Process Message Catego! s In Process Management, the system first sends the control recipe to the control recipe destination, as a manual or automatic (background) job. The plant operator receives the control recipe in the form of a PI sheet and fills in the requisite data, ‘When the data entry is complete, the process operator sets the status of the PI sheet as complete. This enables the system to communicate the data back into the SAP ERP system in the form of process messages. The process messages are the inti- mation or instructions to proceed with performing the necessary functions such as data entry or data updates. A The system embeds the process message category within the process instruction category. For example, the system embeds the process message category PL PROD within the process instruction category APROD_1. The process instruction category APROD_1 enables you to record the production and also perform goods receipt against the process order through the process message category Pl_PROD. When you create a process order, generate a control recipe, send it to the control recipe destination, maintain the PI sheet, and set the status to Complete, the sys- tem processes the process messages by sending the completed data such as quan- tity produced or goods issuance to the SAP ERP system, which then process the data using function modules or BAPI. There are several process message categories that cater to different business sce- narios, such as material consumption message, message on control recipe status, confirmation of a phase, or even create a new batch (provided that batch manage- ment is already active for the material), Figure 4.12 shows the list of selected and standard process message categories available in the SAP ERP system. The system automatically assigns the relevant process message category in the process instruction category in the standard offering, For self-defined process message and process instruction categories, you 494 | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing | need to ensure that you incorporate the relevant process message category within the process instruction category.

In the following section, we deliberately took a longer route to explain the vari- ous process instruction types, to cover the concepts and the fundamentals involved in each type. Toward the end of this section, we also cover how you can use the wizard to create any of the seven different process instruction categories to attend to various business scenarios. 1534 | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing 4.6.1 Process Instruction Types When you define the process instruction category, you have to assign a process instruction type to enable the system to process the data accordingly. Eight differ- ent process instruction types are available: > Process parameter > Process data request > Process message subscription > Calculation > Inspection results request » Dynamic function call » Sequence definitions > Universal Table 4.1 summarizes the different process instruction types, which are also explained in detail later. Universal is not included, as it applies to all types. (The abbreviation PY in the table refers to process instruction.)

In the PI sheet, you'll see a label for process parameter, . into which you enter the parameter value. Figure 4.19 shows the screen for the > Process instruction category AMAT_1 for process instruction type 1. If you use 5 this process instruction type in the process order (or in the master recipe), the 7 system automatically fills in most of the details, such as material number, short 2 text, issuance quantity for the operation, and phase.

Either the system requires the user to enter the process parameter value manually, or the system can fill in the value automatically, depending on how you have set up the process instruction characteristics. We'll cover both examples of process parameter value entry (manual input as well as automatic), . Figure 4.20 shows the screen for the process instruction category AQMSMR_1 and process instruction type 2. It contains the process message category Pl. QMSMR to enable the system to send back the parameter values that the shop floor operator has entered. 155 TGFs4. | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing |, hange View “Characteristes/Processintructon Porvers BERR OR ee = + Grocer retctin cates reer et * Chdurntesteyrocn mseion SY Liceey tg A) acto vie bon pecursteD_yaute (5 FePPL INPECTION RESULT pers peuuesTeo vA © PPPLEVENT DATE por sequesre> vse | ret even Figure 4.20 Overview of Control Instruction Category for AQMSMMR_1 This example is for quality inspection results for in-process (during preduction) inspection. The system automatically fills in the CHARACTERISTIC VaLUES such as operation number and inspection lot number, but you have to maintain charac- teristic value for the characteristic PPPIINSPECTION_CHARACTERISTIC. This value is basically the master inspection characteristic (in the QM component), against which you are requesting the process operator to enter the values. The process operator also enters values (PPPI_REQUESTED_VALUES) in the PI sheet. Dur- ing process messages sending, the system sends the entered information back to the SAP ERP system for further processing. Another example for process instruction type 2 is the process instruction category AREAD1 shown in Figure 4.21. It contains the process message category READ to enable the system to send back the parameter values that the shop floor operator has entered. In the PI sheet, when the process operator enters the parameter value for the characteristic value PPPLMaTERiAL_ Quantity, the system sends this, value during the process messages sending. The system automatically fills in the characteristic values for the PPPl_Event_Dave and PPPI_Event_Time, with the date and time the user enters the requested process parameter values. Later, we'll also show how the system automatically fills in the characteristic value for a self-defined process instruction characteristic. 156oy og & 2 &©60804666 6 GG * eo “aoe 6G 3 =] = " se ~ wisi Fd = oe eee Process Instruction Category | 4.6 [3600] Now York [READY JRecuest amassed vas Process dat request (0) esac va 7PP1 DATA REOMEST_TYFE_()/[} Ulimel Data Requnst rer essicr_carmsons (7) (ReaD PPP mocks ceom (3) Port cawrpoL,FecIrE5)G),0) PPL room O01 Pore somnce ono, ret peor yar DC) WIFFPLLEvENToxTe eP0 peomsTeD vauwe 5) IpeDL EVENT TIME ert raguesTen_yaiur (1) PPPL MATERUAL_qumBTTTY remo, mase (2) 9/7) “FPPr_opeparzan o@o, er mse Ben!

In this spe~ cific example, the process operator sends the quantity produced against the pro- cess order for which the operator wants to record goods receipt against the process order. The process operator records the goods produced information in the PI sheet and sets the status of the PI sheet as Complete. Upon processing the process message, that is, sending it back to the SAP ERP system, the system updates the goods produced information in the process order and also creates the material and accounting documents. Process Instruction Type 4: Calculation In this process instruction type, the system can perform calculation in the PI sheet based on the calculation formula that you've defined. The system makes use of the process message category to send back the calculated value to the predefined destination. The standard process message category is NREAD. Table 4.2 provides the details of some of the important process instruction char- acteristics that you can use for calculation, You may also refer to Figure 4.23. PPI_INPUT_ KS PRODUCTION ‘You can define any characteristic value, and the REQUEST system displays it accordingly in Pl sheet. PPPI_VARIABLE 8 This is the Variable that you can define for the cal- ‘culated value. PPPI_EVENT.

Ifnot, you ‘have to manually choose the CALCULATOR Icon to ‘rigger calculation. k This characteristic value was already created using ‘Transaction CT04 and Is assigned here. It gover and controls several parameters such as whe the field input is mandatory, whether a negative data entry is possible, or whether you can select a value from the dropdown option in the Pl sheet. Table 4.2 Process Instruction Characteristics for Calculation 158> Process Instruction Category | 4.6 : A A 7 PPPI_ Ar20 This is the calculation formula. The variable A ° CALCULATION__ needs to be previously defined in the Pl sheet. 7 FORMULA You can use up to eight lines of characteristic to | 2 define a long or complex formula. io PPPI_UNIT_OF_ KG This is the unit of measure of calculated value. Table 4.2 Process Instruction Characteristics for Calculation (Cont) In the screen shown in Figure 4.23, you can give a field description to the charac- . teristic PPPLINPUT_REQUEST, and the system will display it in the PI sheet. Fur- a ther, you can define the formula that the system will use in the calculation in the 3 value field for characteristic PPPI_CALCULATION FORMULA. If the formula is too long to fit on one line, you can enter the formula in up to eight characteristics. All you have to do is add a new line, enter the characteristic “PPPI_ CALCULATION_FORMULA", and continue entering formula details in the value 3. field until the formula is complete.

Process Instruction Type 5: Inspection Results Requests In this process instruction type, you can navigate to the screen or transaction within the PI sheet, in which you can record inspection results of an operation or a phase. In other words, it provides the option to record the quality results. The standard process instruction category available for operations is QMJUM, and for phase, it's QMJUM.PH. Depending on the process instruction category that you select, you can then define the operation (see Table 4.3) or the phase (see Table 4.4). PPPI_OPERATION “The operation for which you want to record quality, inspection results Table 4.3. Process Instruction Type 5 for Operation A CA PPPLPHASE : ; ©The phase for which’You w t want to record quality “inspection results Table 4.4 Process Instruction Type 5 for Phase Process Instruction Type 6: Dynamic Function Call Process instruction type 6 makes use of the dynamic function call, wherein you can call any SAP ERP system transaction in the PI sheet to facilitate your business process. For example, before you initiate the process of goods issuance against a process order within the PI sheet, you want to quickly check the stock overview of the material), Similarly, while remaining in the PI sheet, you also want to per- form the phase confirmation of the process order. In the first example, you can call Transaction MMBE for a stock overview. In the second example, you can call or navigate to the phase confirmation Transaction COR6N, Table 4.5 provides an overview of each PI characteristic and its function. 160| @@edoedecdoedoeedeoeoeoevuvvwuvvwovsovvsesvrvv se’ 76 ees Process Instruction Category | 4.6 Table 4.5 Process Instruction of Type 6 In Figure 4.24, the process instruction category C_DURAT enables you to calcu- Jate the duration. Figure 4.24 Process Instruction Type 6: Calculation of Duration 1614 Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing For each export parameter (PPPLEXPORT_PARAMETER), such as LSTART_DATE or LSTART_TIME, you can enter the values in PPPI_STRING_VARIABLE, and the system automatically calculates the duration, You may use this duration for caleu- lating machine hours or production duration. The system makes use of function module COPF_DETERMINE_DURATION. Process Instruction Type 7: Sequence Defi When you incorporate process instruction type 7 in the process instruction of a master recipe, the system prompts you to enter the phases’ relationships with cach other. This enables the system to provide the business process owner with the necessary control that unless a predecessor phase is complete, the successor phase can’t start or its data entry in the PI sheet can’t be made. When you send the process message of a predecessor phase, only then will the system enable you to enter the details of operation of the next (successor) phase. In this process instruction type, you assign the following process instruction character, slong with its value. Process Instruction Type 0: Universal Now that you know the difference of each type of process instruction type, you can use process instruction type 0 to attend to specific business processes, which the standard process instruction types don't cover. Also, ifyou plan to implement the process manufacturing cockpit, you need to define al of your process instruc tion categories of type 0 to enable the system to use it. See Section 4.10 on con- figuring the process manufacturing cockpit in SAP ERP. 4.6.2 Using a Wizard or Process Instruction Assistant With the exception of process instruction type 0, you can use a wizard to help you define the category of each process instruction type. For example, if you want to create a new process instruction type 4 (calculation) for a new process instruction category, you can use the PI Assistanr icon to open this step-by-step instruction tool, which eliminates the need to know the complexities involved, such as char- acteristics PPPIINPUT_VALUE. Alternatively, look for the icons @_ set) or (@B) in the master recipe or in the process order, which serve the same Purpose. 162vu} GG 2 D 3 ve uw” Process Instruction Category 4.6.3. Creating a Self-Defined Process Instruction Category Now that we've covered the basics of the process instruction category, let's create a self-defined process instruction category of type 0 as an example. In Chapter 7, we'll show how you make use of this self-defined process instruction category PP10. To create a new process instruction category, use configuration (Transaction ‘SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES + PROCESS MAN- AGEMENT + PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS + DEFINE PROCESS INSTRUCTION CATEGORIES (GEN- FRAL), of use Transaction 012C. Figure 4.25 shows the initial screen in which you enter "3000" and choose Continvs to open the screen shown in Figure 4,26, in the PLaNr field (Alera scorn, [reed 8) Figure 4.25 Initial Screen for the Process Instruction Category Figure 4.26 shows the list of available process instruction categories for plant 3000, Notice the last column on the right-hand side of the screen, titled PRociw steve. If you place the cursor on any field of that column and press (Fi), the system shows a dropdown list of process instruction types. These are the same process instructions that we covered in Section 4.6.1 of this chapter. Choose New Entaiss and you'll see the screen as shown in Figure 4.26. On the next screen, define the process instruction category PP10 of type 0 (Uni- versal) and give a short description. Next, select the process instruction category, and double-click on the CHARACTERISTICS/PROCESS INSTRUCTION ACATEGORY field’on the left-hand side of figure to enter specific process instruction characteristics. For our example, enter the characteristics as shown in Table 4.6 464 | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing View ‘Process instruction categories": Overview 9 pt RB) Hew vk [= Circe retcten aogores — (Cowracterstesrcer ese aly srs, | Decne | Pnsy.tce io Berk rtcatoozy Figure 4.26 Overview Screen of Process Instruction Categories PPPI_DATA REQUEST TYPE ‘Simple Data Request PPPI_MESSAGE_CATEGORY PP10 ‘i ZP|_CREATION_DATE PPPL_OUTPUT_TEXT P.O.

It incorporates the process message category PP10 as well as the self-defined process instruction characteristic ZPI_CREATION_DATE. See Section 4.6.4 to create a self-defined process instruction characteristic. Also note that the system automatically fills in the characteristic values that are blank in the preceding table. 4.6.4 Creating a Self-Defined Process Instruction Characteristic Although the SAP ERP system offers a large number of standard process instruc- tion (and process message) characteristics, unique business processes or business needs often require custom-defined or self-defined characteristics The process operator wants to refer to specific information for a process order or its ‘operations in the Pl sheet. You notice that this isn't available in the standard offering, 1646oGoeG 6 t! oGeTEGBEEEE “uw “ue eo oUUduas PO GCG er a a Process Instruction Category | 4.6 Similarly, there are some standard fields for which you want the process operator to send back the requisite information through process messages. The option to self-define ‘the process instruction characteristic offers the flexibility that you can choose a large number of fields in the production process and use them to bring together different information in the Pi sheet, For our example, create a simple self-defined process instruction characteristic that automatically fetches the process order end date when the user creates the process order. You can use this characteristic to display this information (process order end date) in the PI sheet. Although this example uses automatic value assignment—that is, the system automatically fills in the date field—you can also use it to request that the process operator send the requisite information in the form of process message. You also use process instruction characteristics to define the RFC destination to which you want to send process instructions to an external control system. To create a new process instruction characteristic, follow the configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDDSTRIES + PROCESS MANAGEMENT + PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS + DEFINE CHARACTERISTICS FOR PRO- ‘CESS INSTRUCTIONS + CREATE CHARACTERISTICS FOR PROCESS INSTRUCTIONS, oF Use Transaction 025C. Figure 4.27 displays the initial screen to create the process instruction character- istic. Notice the similarities that you find in creating a standard characteristic (Transaction CT04) when compared with creating a process instruction character- istic. Figure 4.27 Inltial Screen to a Create Process Instruction For our example, create ZPI_CREATION_DATE, and click on the BASIC DATA tab to’ open the dialog box shown in Figure 4.28. In this tab, it's important to ensure 1654 | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing that the Cuars (characteristics) Group is defined as a process instruction charac- teristic (PPPL_01). This is the same characteristic group that we covered in Section 4.4.7. Define the Data Tyre as Dare, and click on the Proc. MGMT. icon. The system dis- plays a popup that allows you to incorporate additional process instruction and process messages details. If you place the cursor on the Tasue field and press [Fa] or click on the dropdown option, the dialog box shown in Figure 4.28 appears. This screen provides you the option to select any of the five tables available. These are PROCESS ORDER (HEADER), OPERATION, PHASE, RESOURCE, and MATERIAL (uzapeR). Depending on the table that you select, the system displays the fields associated with it, ted a) Cowatin Praee Figure 4.28 Automatic Value Assignment for Process Order Tables For our example, select 01 PROCESS ORDER (HEADER), and the system brings you back to the previous screen. This time place the cursor in the Fret field, and again préss [F2] to see a limited selection of fields that are available in the process order table, Select the field GLTRP, which is the technical name of the process order finish date (see Figure 4.29). Apart from entering the TaBte and the Fie1p, select the OnLy AuTomanic checkbox to enable the system to automatically fill in the requisite information in the process instruction characteristic and save it. When the user creates the process order and the system assigns start and finish basic dates of the process order, the system fetches the basic finish date of the process order and makes it an integral part of the PI sheet, ee 58 involves the ct ie proce Ua use Transaction CTO4 (which t have a process: in ‘management teristics and ensure selection.

Two of these are used when you want to transfer information within the SAP ERP system. The other tWo facil- jtate the transfer of information with external systems. The system creates a con- } trol recipe when you release a process order. This creation of the control recipe 2 can be automatic (controlled in order type-dependent parameters, see Section 4.2), of you can generate it manually. Creating the control recipe and then send- 2 ing the PI sheet to its destination enables the process operator to begin recording 2 important plant parameters. > Table 4.7 provides the necessary details on the different types of control recipe. P ry typ ip elena system_ xtemal contol stem: SAP ERP system Browser-based Pl sheet Table 4.7. Control Recipe Destination Types 1674 | Configuration Basics of Process Manufacturing Ifthe control recipe destination is of either type 1 or 4, then the system sends the recipes to different destinations within the SAP ERP system. The system creates a control recipe, either user-driven (manually) or automatically, and consolidates the process instructions for a given order and destination in the form of the PI sheet. The PI sheet contains user-defined details, for example, process notes, pro- cess steps, input fields, calculation, options to sign the phases of the PI sheet, details to enter goods issuance (consumption), and navigation to confirmation screen or to record in-process quality results, When the process operator sets the status of the PI sheet to Complete, the system sends the data back to the SAP ERP system in the form of process messages. The system then uploads the information from the process messages into the SAP ERP system tables using function mod- ules and BAPIs. If the control recipe destination is of either type 2 or 3, then the system consoli- dates the process instructions in the control recipe of the process order and sends them to external PCSs. ‘An internal SAP ERP system destination can be any logical or virtual destination where the process operator receives the PI sheet and fills in the data, K ple, internal destinations can be mixing unit, packing unit, blending, ammonia section, urea section, or quality section. For external destinations, that is, external PCSs, these are the RFC destinations of the external system. You can also integrate a digital signature using an SAP ERP system login and pass- word. The options available for when to use digital signatures are the following: » Activating or deactivating the PI sheet > Locking or unlocking PI sheet > Changing the status of the PI sheet to Complete » Entering each parameter value in the PI sheet Digital signature options are also available in case a parameter value deviates from predefined limits, as well as for completion of each phase in the PI sheet. If you want to automatically generate process instructions to minimize maintaining 168Contot Recipe/Process Instruction sheets | 4-7 them in the master recipe, you can do so when creating the control recipe dest nation, See Section 4.7.2 for information on the scope of generation. im the following sections, we'll explain how to set up a control recipe destination, vacwell as make the necessary settings for scope of generation for process instruc tions. 4.7.1 Create a Control Recipe Destination ‘To create a new control recipe destination, follow the configuration (Transaction SPRO) menu path PRODUCTION PLANNING FOR PROCESS INDUSTRIES « PROCESS Man- ‘c@EMENT + CONTROL RECIPE/PI SHEETS + CONTROL RECIPE DESTINATIONS + DEFINE AND Ser UP CONTROL RECIPE DESTINATIONS, oF use Transaction 025C: tn the sereen shown in Figure 4.30, create a new control recipe destination, 10 of ‘hunt 4 (browser-based PI sheet), Give a short description as well as the destin tion address as PRODUCTION FLOOR.
