Transfer to browser-based PI sheet

Hi,
I am working with PP-PI industries, and I have create first time Transfer to browser-based PI sheet
I want to know,
How the values add in PI sheet via operator?(These sheets not allow adding any value)
How can change the status of PI sheet?
Pl helps me for finding the solution.
Regards
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Your question "How the values add in PI sheet via operator" is not very clear... I cld understand you want to add certain values in the PI Sheets using some formulas or You are asking abt the value addition to the process because of PI Sheet usage.
Secont, The status of PI Sheet...usuallu "Inprocess , Processed, new"will be the statuses...
New - Newly created PI Sheet
In Process - you have entered some values in the PI Sheet...But not completed the PI sheet by clicking the "Complete" button at the top of the PI Sheet..
Processed - U have completed the PI Sheet,,by clicking the "complete" button in the PI sheet.
Sometime you ll see yellow or red warnings in the status..This means the PI messages ( the data entered in the PI Sheet) is still pending ( not send to the Process message destinations) destination can be functional modules which will perform Normal Transactions .
Warning will araise for locking conditions...ex. process order in change mode is active so system cld not perform the transaction.
Red message indicates errors..
You can see the ststus & the log in CO52 ( process message monitor) transaction.
Please come back with your exact query
Thanks & regards

We are having a hard time finding information on the configuration changes necessary to implement this changes. Can any one outline what needs to be configured/implemented in order to use this functionality?

Hi John,
The difference between ABAP based pi sheets & web based pi sheets are captured in SAP through control recipe destination type.
1. Define the control recipe destination, use the following menu path
Process Management by choosing Control Recipes/PI Sheets -> Define and Set Up Control Recipe Destinations.
2. In the above activity set the destination type as " 4" - transfer to browser based PI sheet, This control recipe destination is an operating group for the R/3 PI sheet that is displayed in HTML layout on the screen.
There are few prerequisite for settin up browser based PI sheets with regards to internet explorer settings,
1.In the Internet Explorer menu, choose Tools -> Internet Options.
2.Choose the Security tab page.
3.Choose the Web content zone Internet.
4.Choose Custom Level ...

Guide to create Browser-Based PI Sheet in ERP Release 5.0

Hi everybody,
I tried to change the type of control recipe destination without success. Who can help me to configure the system? I'm looking for a guide line for example. I already read Help on SAP (Setting up the browser for PI sheets and cockpits, Control recipe destination ...) But there are not so much informations
Thanks a lot
Johan

Hi, if i change process recipe destination type to1 (abap pi sheet) in o10c, then there is no issues. control recipe is successfully created. if i maintain the same to 4 (browser based pi sheet) in o10c trx, then i am getting the error message as "syntex error found for distination". please advise.

By-product handling in Browser based PI sheet.

Hi PP Gurus,
Could anybody please explain how to handle By-product scenario in Browser based PI sheet? I know PI_CONS and PI_PROD are the two standard Process message categories for GI and GR respectively. But I'm not getting, where exactly By-product will be covered?
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi Ratan/Brahmaji,
I'm sorry if I misinterpreted issue. The actual thing is say Process order 1000 is there which is having one component RM-1. In process order 1000, I've not mention any by-product. Now control recipe generated at the time of Process order release. I could see PI Browser based PI sheet in CO60 transaction code. From configuration, PI_CONS is the process message category that I assigned to Process instruction category. Now when I'm filling PI sheet in Edit mode and trying to post a by-product with -(negative) sign after quantity in PI sheet and trying to complete the PI sheet, system is not accepting the entry for by-product. Moreover when I'm removing -(negative) sign after quantity for by-product, system is posting it as GI and in transaction code CO54 when I tried to post the message that time it's throwing an error of Deficit stock for by-product.
So what's the way to come out of that? Please help.

2. Create characteristics CT04
3. Assign the characteristics to PI instr category O12C
4. While creating Master recipe, assign the PI instructions categories you want to use.
Step B
After creation & releasing process order create control recipe.
then go for T code- CO 53 - send control recipe(control recipe monitor)
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/f3/6ee4117aed11d2a5fe0060087d1a6b/content.htm
CO60 - Operator will enter the values
CO54 - send process messages
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/ac/6a101268ce11d2a67600104b57eaa3/content.htm
CO55- Check the report.
Transaction CO57, to trigger manually a process message with message Category PI_CRST for the process order and Control reciepe combination.
Then use Transaction CO54 to send the Message to the process order

Unplanned By-product reporting on Browser based PI sheet

Hello All,
I would like to report by-product on PI sheet. Only problem is I'm not maintaining the by-product on BOM and hence there will be no reservation. So when I do a GI using PI_CONS the system will do a 261 and not 531. There is no place to specify the -ve sign. Any thoughts on this issue are appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
Define the By-Products with negative quantity.
When the process order is created, the system assumes the Goods movment with 531.
So when the PI_CONS is created for this Material against the corresponding reservation , it will execute 531 movement.
View the below thread for Goods Receipt for By-Products:

ABAP base PI sheet & Browser base PI sheet

Hi
What is the differance between Browser base PI sheet & ABAP base PI sheet.

Hi,
Pls. find the details about ABAP based PI sheet & Browser based PI sheet as below so you can understand the difference between them :
ABAP List-Based PI Sheet
Definition
The PI sheet represents the result of a control recipe that was sent to a process operator and whose content is displayed as text on the screen. This means the PI sheet is an instruction for the process operator that describes how and in which order a product is manufactured. The PI sheet can, for example, contain information about the picking of raw materials as well as instructions about charging the mixer, filling silos, and so on.
The SAP PI sheet is designed for processing on the screen, which means that the process operator should enter, confirm, report, or complete data interactively. In this way, the SAP PI sheet enables communication between the SAP System (PP-PI) and process operators in production lines that are operated manually (either fully or partially).
Beside this conventional PI sheet, you can also create a browser-based PI sheet as of Release 4.6C. It has all the advantages of a browser-based application that is easy-to-operate and intuitive.
Use
Depending on the process instructions contained in a control recipe, the PI sheet supports the following functions:
·        Displaying control information such as instructions for the process operator on how to carry out production steps
·        Displaying additional notes, such as notes on specific rules that must be followed when dealing with dangerous goods
·        Recording of actual process data
·        Reporting of entered and calculated values using process messages, for example, posting goods issues and receipts or time-ticket confirmations
·        Navigating to other SAP applications outside of PP-PI to make entries and afterwards return to the PI sheet
·        Performing calculations, such as calculating dates
·        Triggering a dialog or requesting data from internal or external applications
For information about defining PI sheets using process instructions see Process Instructions for the PI Sheet. For ABAP list-based PI sheets you can use process instructions of the types 1, 2 and 4 to 7.
Structure
Each PI sheet consists of a header and a number of elements defined via the process instructions in the control recipe or by the process operator when he or she maintains the PI sheet.
These elements include:
·        Control information and notes with additional information for the process operator
·        Comments by the process operator
·        Input fields for the actual process data to be reported
·        Fields for values to be calculated by the system
·        Pushbuttons that enable the process operator to call user-defined function modules or the QM function for recording inspection results
The data contained in the PI sheet is displayed on an overview screen and various detail screens for the individual elements.
The following paragraphs provide details on the individual elements and their functions within the PI sheet.
For information on how to define PI sheets using process instructions, see Process Instructions for PI Sheets.
The PI sheet is made up of the following sections:
The Header
The header is shown at the very top of a PI sheet's overview screen. It contains information on the following:
·        The status of the PI sheet
·        The process order for which the PI sheet was created
·        The material to be produced
·        The process operator or group of process operators responsible for maintaining the PI sheet
The Phases
The lower section of the PI sheet comprises the phases. Depending on the content of the process instructions, they can contain the following information:
·        Control information
Control information for the process operator is displayed on the overview screen of the PI sheet. The information to be displayed is defined in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess parameteru201D. In the PI sheet, the number of the process instruction and the corresponding phase of the process order is displayed before the control information.
·        Additional information
Additional information on a process step can be displayed on detail screens within the PI sheet. The information to be displayed is defined as a note in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess parameteru201D.
On the overview screen of the PI sheet, one or more pushbuttons are displayed below the corresponding control instruction. You can use these pushbuttons to call up the information on the detail screens.
·        Comments
Within the PI sheet, the process operator can create comments on individual process steps. These comments can either be saved in a special comment sheet within the PI sheet, or they can be reported to process management using a process message.
The comment sheet can be accessed from the PI sheet's overview screen by choosing the corresponding menu option or the corresponding pushbutton in the header.
Comment messages always refer to a specific process step. If a comment message has been created in the PI sheet, the document symbol as well as the beginning of the comment are displayed to the right of the corresponding control information. You can display the entire comment on a detail screen.
·        Input values
On the overview screen of the PI sheet, input fields are provided for the actual process data to be reported. The values to be reported are defined in process instructions of the type u201Cprocess data requestu201D.
Single input fields are displayed to the right of the preceding control instruction. If several values of the same type are to be reported, a corresponding table is displayed below the control instruction and the other input fields.
·        Signature
A signature is a special type of input value that marks the end of a process step within the PI sheet. By executing a signature, you confirm and report the data entered or calculated in the process step. If you have made the corresponding system settings, you must execute a signature with a password or a digital signature.
Like any other input value, the signature is defined in a process instruction of the type u201Cprocess data requestu201D.
·        Values to be calculated
If you want the system to calculate a value in the PI sheet, a field for this value is displayed on the overview screen to the right of the preceding control instruction. If the value has not yet been calculated, the field contains a question mark (?). Values to be calculated are defined in process instructions of the type u201Cprocess data calculation formulau201D.
·        Inspection results
If inspection results are to be recorded for an operation or phase, the Record inspection results pushbutton is displayed in the PI sheet to the right of the preceding control instruction. Using this pushbutton, you can branch to the QM function for recording inspection results.
The operations or phases for which inspection results are to be recorded are defined using a process instruction of the type u201Cinspection results requestu201D.
·        Dynamic function calls
If an SAP function module is to be called within the PI sheet (for example, to access order confirmation or material quantity calculation, or to start a user-defined function), a pushbutton with which you can start the function is displayed to the right of the preceding control instruction.
The function to be called is defined using a process instruction of the type u201Cdynamic function callu201D.
Integration
To create ABAP list-based PI sheets, you must send your control recipes to a control recipe destination of type1 : control recipe transfer to SAP PI sheet.
Browser-Based PI Sheet
Definition
As of Release 4.6C, you can also create PI sheets in HTML layout. The browser-based PI sheet is an enhanced version of the ABAP list-based PI sheet. It offers a new user interface that is intuitive and easy-to-operate.
To be able to use the browser-based PI sheet correctly, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5 or greater) and make a few security settings in the Internet Explorer. For more information, see Setting Up the Browser for PI Sheets and Cockpits.
The PI sheet represents the result of a control recipe that was sent to a process operator and whose content is displayed as text on the screen. This means the PI sheet is an instruction for the process operator that describes how and in which order a product is manufactured. The PI sheet can, for example, contain information about the picking of raw materials as well as instructions about charging the mixer, filling silos, and so on.
The SAP PI sheet is designed for processing on the screen, which means that the process operator should enter, confirm, report, or complete data interactively. In this way, the PI sheet enables communication between the SAP System and process operators in production lines that are operated manually (either fully or partially).
Use
Depending on the characteristic-based process instructions or XSteps contained in a control recipe, the PI sheet supports the following functions:
·        Displaying control information such as instructions for the process operator on how to carry out production steps
·        Displaying additional notes, such as notes on specific rules that must be followed when dealing with dangerous goods
·        Recording of actual process data
·        Reporting of entered and calculated values using process messages, for example, posting goods issues and receipts or time-ticket confirmations
·        Navigating to other SAP applications outside of PP-PI to make entries and afterwards return to the PI sheet
·        Performing calculations, such as calculating dates
·        Triggering a dialog or requesting data from internal or external applications
For further information on defining PI sheets using characteristic-based process instructions or XSteps see:
·        Characteristic-Based Process Instructions for PI Sheets
·        XSteps (Execution Steps)
When creating browser-based PI sheets, you can either use the standard layout defined by SAP or use your own layouts. For more information, see Layout Definition for PI Sheets and Cockpits.
Structure
The SAP Standard Layout
The following sections show you how the browser-based PI sheet is structured in the SAP standard layout and how the interface elements are displayed.
The browser-based PI sheets comprises a header and the individual phases of the process order. The header and all phases are open when you call the PI sheet and can be collapsed and expanded.
All functions are available in the context menu. In addition, a menu bar in the PI sheet header contains the functions that refer to the entire PI sheet. To display the context menu, you position the cursor on the corresponding field and use the right-hand mouse button. You can call the context menu using key combination Shift + F10.
The Header
The header is shown at the top of the PI sheet. It contains detailed information about the PI sheet that can be either hidden or displayed. If you click on the header, then detailed information about the header is displayed. The header contains information about:
·        The status of the PI sheet (test or active PI sheet)
·        Process order for which the PI sheet was created
·        The material to be produced
·        The batch to be produced if the material you want to produce is subject to batch management
·        The number of the control recipe from which the PI sheet was created
·        The number of the inspection lot if a QM inspection has been defined for the process order
The Phases
The lower section of the PI sheet comprises the phases of the process order. Each phase can be subdivided into several segments. Each time a long text is contained within a phase, a new segment is started, which is completed before the next long text.
Phases can contain the following elements:
·        Control information, notes, and input fields for long texts that are displayed on the left-hand side
·        All input fields, output fields, and pushbuttons that are displayed on the right-hand side.
·        Tables that are displayed over the entire PI sheet screen.
Interface Elements
