Enabling Xsteps in master recipe and process order

Hi experts,
I am trying to enable the Xsteps by assigning 'Xsteps' in Master recipe profile. But Xsteps tab is not getting enabled in master recipe. I think this is the only one setting to activate Xstep. Can anybody help me on this.? IS this a technical issue(Something related to basis?)
Similarly I dont see the Xsteps tab in process order also. Is the SAP version a reason for this. I think Xsteps functionality are available from 4.7 onwards.
Can anybody help me on this please?
Thanks in advance.

Dear experts,
I encounter the same problem of Prathib. I'm working on ECC 6.0 and would like to use Xsteps. The repository is available (R/3 Enterprise SCM Extension 2.0 is imported) and I created several xsteps but i cannot imprt them in the master recipe because the button "Xsteps" is not active in C202, even the recipe profile is correctly set to PI01_XS.
All SAP notes i found (01466 and 607815) are referring to 4.7 and are correctly implemented in my system. So the customizing and extensions are in place, but the button "Xsteps" is not active.
Can anybody help and suggest further settings i need to do in order to use xsteps?
Thanks & Regards.

Deleting operations in master recipe of process orders

Dear Guru's,
I want to delete the operations in master recipe of process orders. The operation numbers are different in different process orders. This activity has to be performed on bit large number of process orders. Can anyone help me in providing the process for doing this activity in mass. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kalyan

Dear Kalyan,
Why do you want to delete the operations(basically phases)at process order level?
If it's really required to execute the Shop floor activties and if the order numbers is huge in number means then in my
understanding only a LSMW/BDC can help you,but technically I'm concerned about selecting the operation/phases for deletion
by passing on the confirmation number or operation number for a particular process order.
If it would be the latest operation/phase for a product means then make the changes in the master recipe so that the same is
getting copied into the process orders in the future.
Check and correct me if I'm wrong.

Read Master Data on Process Order

Hi there,
We have a process order in status CRTD PRC APNG APRS BCRQ MANC SETC. But when user try to initiate a Read Master Data for Prod Version / Master Recipe / BOM, system is giving this error log:
No approval: production version 0001 has not been approved
Unreleased engineering change orders:
Engineering change order 500000000001 has not been released
I have checked on the Change Number for both the Master Recipe and Bill of Material and everything seems to be correct. Why does SAP prompting "No approval: production version 0001 has not been approved" and why is SAP trying to read Engineering Change Order 500000000001? This is an old one possibly the first Engineering Change Order generated...
Cheers

Dear,
As per GMP Steps are as,
The procedure in the environment requiring an approval is the following:
-> Create
1. Create new production version, without specifying recipes and bill of material.
2. Assign a change number which is valid for the recipe and the bill of material to be entered to the production version.
3. Enter recipe and bill of material in the production version or if external number assignment of the recipe is required, make no entry in the recipe group.
4. Navigate to the recipe, for example, by double-clicking on the Recipe field.
5. Maintain the recipe and the material list (bill of material) within the recipe as usual.
6. Save the recipe and, therefore, also the bill of material. (Return to the production version transaction. )
7. Save the production version.
-> Change
1. Assign a change number which is valid for the recipe and the bill of material entered or to be entered to the existing production version.
2. Navigate to the recipe and further processing as described under -> Create.
After the release of the change request, all three objects production version, recipe and bill of material are approved providing a change rule which prescribes an approval procedure was defined in the recipe header.
You need a suitable change request for defining the change rule. Providing you use the integrated maintenance via the production version as recommended, proceed as described above and assign the suitable change request to the production version.
If you want to ensure furthermore that no recipes are created without change request, use a profile set correspondingly in Customizing for the creation of recipes.
Hope clear to you. For details refer the Note 154360 - Maintain prod.vrsns+recpes i.env.requirng an apprvl

Get the supply source of planned order and process order.

Hi experts,
I would like to display production version (supply source) on prduct view.
But, I don't know that how to get supply source of planned order and process order.
APO table is complax.
Do you know that?
Regards,
Satoru

Hello Tushar,
Are components also plan in APO with MRP type X0?
Does PDS or PPM contain all the components?
Verify if the component is maintained properly in the PDS.
Check whether there is an active integration model for the components, also execute the RAPOKZFX report for all the materials in question.
When you convert the PPDS order to process order then conversion happens in ECC/R/3 system. This is the place BOM has to be reexploded in ECC. Please check if you have any enhancement which restrict BOM explosion.
Also check OSS note 1576703 suggested by an expert Caetano.

Text in PI Sheet and Process Order did not match

Dear Sir,
We are going to upgrade to our system from 4.7 to ECC6.
We have a problem with PI Sheets with the Long text. The text instruction shown in the PI sheet is not matching with the long text put in the Process Order and Master Receipe.
We are using the Process Instruction Category "INST" and we are puting long text for instruction for this in the Master Receipe. At the time for creation of Process Order this Process instruction Category fatch correct value of long text from the Master Receipe after released the Process Order, Control Recipe generated for the same Process Order. But when we are going to process these Control Receipe from the T-Code CO60, We find the some different text for the "INST".
This problem is not for one Material and Plant Specific.
Thanks and Regards,

Application Consultant SAP PP
Mobile +91 9971003631

Hello Gaurav,
There might be another possibility, make sure if you make any changes in the Control Recipe Destination program or user exit to populate the long text while sending the CR to the destination to reflect with the PO/Master Recipe.
with best regards

Read Master Data for Process order status change (REL to CRTD)

I am unable to read master data and thus change the status of process order from REL to CRTD. (COR2)
The reason it says, error in BOM reading, Transport Requirement (TR) already generated.
Even after deleting the TR (LB02), the issue still exists.
Is there another way of changing the status or some more steps are needed for the TR deletion?
Thnx!
Abhi.

Order header Status-
REL Released
MSPT Material shortage
PRT Printed
PRC Pre-costed
BASC Batch assignment complete
BCRQ Order to be handled in batches
SETC Settlement rule create.
In the error log it gives-
Diagnosis
Transfer requirements have already been generated, so therefore the bill of material cannot be read.
System Response
The system does not execute the action.
Then I deleted the TR (LB02), but still I cannot reread the master data.
The MSPT was for only 2 materials out of 6 and there is no GMPS status.
There is prod supply area and control cycle used.
and the TR generated at order release.

Quantity Reversal and Process Order Cancellation

Dear SAPians,
I have a problem in Cancellation of Process order after doing the reversal of Quantity after UD thru following steps :-
1.Assign Inspection Type u201808u2019 in the Material master thru T-Code u2018MM02u2019 & Save.
2.Go to MB1B & Make Transfer Posting Thru Movt. Type u2018322u2019 and SAVE.
3. Now we tried to cancel the process order but system is displaying an error 'Quantity is Partially posted in UD' and we are unable to cancel the process order
Please Help
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Reversal of Ud is not possible in normal way as per std SAP.
either you have to implement User exit for the same ( avaialable after 4.6 C version)
Or do as follows:
Go to MIGO
selct GR for order & input your ordernumber in the field .
select Mov.type 102 & slect unrestristed stock in where tab.
Then check & save the transaction.
Then Qty will be revrsed.
Then you can do Process order cancellation.what ever you want.
Pl. try.

Control recipe and process messages

Hi experts,
When I create a control recipe and send to an external destination, is it going as an outbound IDoc from SAP to external system?.
I have the same doubt about the process messages also. ie whether the process messages are coming from external system to SAP as inbound IDocs?
Thanks in advance
pradeep

Hi Prathib,
To realize data transfer between PP-PI and the control system, the SAP system provides the following alternative technologies:
· Function modules
· BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) that are defined as methods applied to SAP business objects and enable the standardized, object-oriented access to business functions in the SAP system. They are implemented as function modules, too.

CO and Process order without material using T. Code CORO

Hi
We need to use Process Order without material functionality for recording "changeover" time and cost (i.e. setting up process for production of other material in a production line).
For this purpose we have configured a separate process order type. We have created a separate activity for Changeover and planned rates using KP26.
Now we create Process Order without material using T. Code CORO and confirm it using COR6N. On confirmation system successfully credits Cost Center.
We need to know:
1) whether we should settle the process order as well or no need to assign settlement profile to Order Type
2) Or should we run Cost Estimate first.
Plz help, if any have idea

Thank you all for your valuable input.
Srinivasa, your suggestion is very good, especially when calculation of variances/WIP is required. But again as there is no cost relevant material where the WIP/Variances will be settled during settlement process?
1) PP need to create process order without material because changeover cost should not be charged to either material and capacity hours are consumed during changeover. 2) CO need to identify the cost of changeover which should be charged to cost center. So far we have achieved both of these two objectives by the following activities:
Creation of Process Order without material using CORO T.Code say 3 hours of changeover occurred we create order with quantity of 3 Hours. And confirmation of activities quantity 3 using COR6N so cost center is credited by 3 x rate per hour. As there is a separate Process Order type for Changeover we can identify changeover quantity and cost in a given period.
After contributors feedback in this thread I have come to conclusion that I don't need to assign Settlement Profile and PA Structure to Changeover Process Order type. So no need to run Process Order settlement. As there is no specific required for Changeover WIP/Variances as well.

OnMessage / OnMessageAsync and processing order

At the minute I'm trying to balance processing and throughput in a system where I need to ensure message order. The processing part basically involves a transformation and output to another service entity, e.g:
[1, 2, 4, 8] > {x2} > [2, 4, 8, 16]
At the moment I'm using ReceiveBatch and SendBatch in a single thread to ensure that the messages are output in the correct order. I'm wondering if I can simplify things by using the OnMessage/OnMessageAsync, however I suspect that because this works with
a number of concurrent calls that I may end up with my outputs out-of-order. e.g.:
[1, 2, 4, 8] > {x2} > [2, 8, 16, 4]
Is this going to be the case?

OnMessageOptions.MaxConcurrentCalls is 1 by default which means pump will hand over next message when you're done processing the current one (no multiple messages at any time). As long as this setting is 1 you can expect an order guaranteed
delivery.

Problem: Scheduling Process Orders.

Hi,
I have a problem in PPPI with scheduling in Master recipe and with the process order in CM25. Can you help me?
In Master Recipe:
I create a capacity category 0025 to display for a resource the setup formula and Processing formula in the Scheduling Tab (as the capacity category 0001 - I also tried to let the capacity category 0001 be used in application C - Master recipe and didn´t work).
In OP40, I created and assigned in applications to C Recipes
Afterwards, I ordered the views in OP13.
When im creating a resource, i prove the formula and i have no problem. But when I assigned it to the recipe and the recipe to the production version to make a process order, neither the master recipe or process order schedules the order.
When I create a resource with a capacity category 0008 (standard) the scheduling works just fine in the process order.
Scheduling in CM25:
Also when Im trying to schedule the order in CM25, I see two lines of the same order (i guess are the 2 phases 0010 and 0020), is there anyway to just see the second to avoid misunderstanding?
Thanks in advance!

Dear,
For FIFO you can use the Characteristic LOBM_LFDAT for FIFO if is LOBM_VFDAT then in plant storage data 1 view maintain the SELD then assign these Characteristic to class in CL02 then assign this calss to material master.
Then craete sort rule in CU70 withCharacteristic LOBM_LFDAT or LOBM_VFDAT
then assign it to serch strategy in MBC1 or COB1 with selction criatoria.
In OPL8 assign this serch procedure.
Then create the order and check the result.

Differrence Between Process Order & Production Order

What is differrence between Process Order & Production order apart from that process order is used in process industry & other one in discrete mfg ??

Hi
there isn't really any difference. The main difference is in master data: Routing vs. Recipe.
as you have mentioned, prodn. orders are used for discrete, repetitive & virtual mfg scenarios whereas process orders are used for process industries (chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc.,) where the prodn. is non-stop.
You can use production order or process order for the same scenario even when you are in a process industry. It is your decision to use either one, but you have to know that process order is more appropriate when you have more machine integrations and interfaces. Process order, as well, requires more master data than production order since you are clubbing both BOM & Routing in the master recipe.
also Process Order can handle batch management and joint production scenario in a better way in comparison to the production order. Also in process order you can maintain the inprocess instructions and special control paramters for production via the process instruction key and control recipe which is not there in a prodcution order.
hope it helps
regards
Srinivas

Process Order status CRCR needs to re read master data

All,
I have an issue with re-reading the master data in process order.
I have an order which was released and control recipe was also released since we use pi sheet to record shop floor data.
After releasing the control recipe user made changes into bom and he wanted to re-read master data , on the master data tab re-read master data button is not activated not if i go menu path from the header process order-> functions-> re-read master data is active.
Neither i am allowed to set the deletion flag for the order, i am getting error message process order status CRCR does not alow to set the delection flag.
Any solution to this issue is appriciated
Either i should be able to re-read the master data or set the deletion flag...

In your case Control Recipe is already created, so you need to send a process message to set the status of the control recipe to finished. "CRFI". Follow the steps below,
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.
You can complete the PI Sheet by clicking the "complete" button in the PI Sheet also.
Now try to re read master data
