PI Sheets / xsteps

I am trying to build my first PI Sheet using XSteps.  I have been able to create formulas and use function modules.  But I have not been able to get a Process message to work.  The one I am trying to use is 'PI_CONS' (Material Consumption Message) to consume some inventory.  To make things easier I defaulted the values of the material, batch, qty and other fields to make sure they are getting populated correctly.  Since no buttons appear on the form what kicks off the message?  I had thought adding a signature after would do it, but I am unable to complete the signature line after the Process Message instruction.  Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

Hi,
thank you for your many positve replies. It seems that the creation of a new sub-topic is hard te get approved by the SDN responsibles. However I have created an own blog on this topic with a lot of useful information. There is no real forum functionality yet but I might add that in the future:

  • Is there a need for a sub-forum focussing on PI Sheets, XSteps, etc.?

    Hi,
    during the last XStep-Café session the question was brought up why there is no separate forum for topics like:
    - PI Sheet
    - Work In struction Sheet
    - XSteps
    What do you think? Would you prefer that these topics are discussed in SCM-PP or should there be such a new forum section? How should it be named?

  • 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
    Interface Element
    Output and Meaning
    Expand
    Collapse of Detailed Information
    The  icon shows that additional information can be displayed for a particular field.  The icon can be found in the following places:
    ·        Next to the phase number, in order to expand or collapse the phase
    ·        Next to a note, to allow you to display the long text for the note
    ·        Next to the signature display for the input fields, to display detailed information for the signature entered.
    You can use the  to collapse information which has been expanded.
    Required Entry
    A red asterisk to the right of input fields indicates that data must be entered into these fields so that, for example, a process message can be created or a process instruction can be completed.
    Calculate data
    This icon is always displayed to the right of a field if a value is to be calculated by the system. When you choose , the calculated value is displayed in the corresponding field.
    Pushbutton
    A pushbutton with the name of a function is displayed when a dynamic function call, such as a jump to QM inspection results recording, has been defined. When you choose the pushbutton, the corresponding function is called.
    Input field
    Input help
    If the SAP system provides an input help for an input value, the  icon is displayed to the right of the relevant input field. You can also use Ctrl + H to call up input help.
    Fixed values
    If fixed values have been defined for a characteristic, these values are offered in a dropdown list.
    User-defined Suggested Values
    Suggested values, that you have defined in the process instruction, are written directly to the input field. At first, they are displayed in blue. To use the default value, position the cursor in the input field and choose Continue.
    Add table line
    The  icon at the end of a table indicates that you can add more lines to the table. When you choose , the system adds a new line at the end of the table.
    Deviations
    If a certain value range has been defined for an input value, the  icon is used to indicate input values that deviate from this value range. To get more information about the deviation, choose .
    In tables, the  icon appears on the right in the table field.
    Comments
    Depending on the location in the PI sheet at which the comment was created, determines whether the  icon is displayed for the comment.
    ·         For a field:
    The  icon appears to the right of the field. To display or edit the comment, choose .
    ·         For a table:
    The  icon appears to the right of the table. To display or edit the comment, choose .
    ·         For a table field:
    No icon appears here. It is only possible to tell from the Display Comment entry in the context menu that a comment is available.
    ·         For the entire PI sheet:
    No icon appears here. It is only possible to tell from the Display Comment entry in the context menu that a comment is available.
    Signature Display in Tables
    If you have entered digital signatures in tables with a signature strategy, the  icon appears next to that particular line. When you choose , a dialog box appears containing the signatory name, the date and time when the signature was made, and if available, a comment by the signatory.
    Navigation Using the Keyboard
    In the PI sheet, you can use the mouse to access all the fields and call up all the functions. In addition, you can use the TAB key to navigate between active fields. With icons, you need to choose Enter to start the corresponding function or open the dialog box. If you set the focus to the  icon, for example, and then choose Enter, values will be calculated.
    The following fields are active in the PI sheet:
    ·        Input fields
    ·        Table lines that are ready for input
    ·        Pushbuttons
    ·        Icons that can be clicked, such as:
    ¡        Expansion of detailed information
    ¡        Collapse of detailed information
    ¡         Calculating data
    ¡         Adding table lines
    ¡         Display of deviations
    ¡         Display of comments
    ¡         Display of signatures
    You can also use a key combination to call up the following functions:
    Function
    Key Combination
    Call up context menu
    Shift + F10
    Call up input help
    Ctrl + H

  • Xstep exchange parameters between 2 PI sheets

    Hi All,
    I am using ECC6 EHP4.
    I have build up a recipe using Xstep to exchange parameter from on PI sheet to another PI sheet.
    The value is created in the first one and the second displayed the result but the value is not transferred.
    it is created according to sap Help:
    Xstep1 node : LOCAL_PARAM parameter local and live
    destination 10
    Xstep1a Get value  node: O_PARAM parameter output and ref to  LOCAL_PARAM and live
    Destination 10

  • XStep conditional formatting. Can it be determined at run time ?

    Does anyone know of a way to put conditional formatting into an XStep generated table output. For example, this is what we are trying to do:
    - At some point after an order is generated and released, materials are issued to it.
    - We have created a function module that reports back the list of all materials issued.
    - The FM also checks to see if the material was planned in a reservation.
    - If a material issued was not a planned material we want to list it in RED.
    In the XStep repository, I can simulate a table output using parameter PPPI_FRAGMENT_HTML, and can change font color by giving it a value like
    <div style="color: red">TEST123</div>
    And I get TEST123 displayed in RED.
    I also get TEST123 displayed in red on the generated PI sheet, if I put the put the HTML string above into the XStep as a fixed value.
    But if I program the FM to return this string, then I get the entire string output in the table field and the font color is not changed to RED.

    Edited by: Mike Rupp on Oct 14, 2011 6:36 PM

    I got a response at the XStep Cafe and thought it might help others if I share it here.
    Arne Manthey:
    I assume that you are also using PPPI_FRAGMENT_HTML for the parameter to which the FM returns your string. If you valuate this parameter manually it is internally handled as a long text. However the function module will most likely return just a string value and these are probably not recognized as a long text. I do not have any idea how to valuate a long text with a FM when the PI Sheet has already been generated. The only thing I did successfully was to generate HTML text during generation (although not with XSteps). But in your case this would not help, yes?
    The general problem with long text elements is that they are really meant for initial valuation only and not for changing back and forth.
    Another way of doing conditional formatting would be to use some Stylesheet magic which evaluates a status parameter you would set by a function module. This would most likely also include some Javascript to make the change happen. Please follow that path only if it is really necessary because Stylesheet stuff is not easy to handle.
    mrupp:
    Thanks Arne.
    We decided to just add an additional table column with an alert message when needed to flag Unplanned Materials and/or Expired Shelf Life. I have played around with Stylesheets & Javascript a bit and agree that it is not worth it in this case.

  • USING VARIABLE SY_ROW IN XSTEP

    Hello everyone:
    I'm working with SAP ECC 6.0 and I'm creating PI Sheet based on Xsteps, but I'm facing the following problem:
    I have created a parameter with the variable SY_ROW and it looks that it's working well because the system gives me the following number when I add a new row, but, besides the system shows me the following message:
    "Internal error while updating XML document 100000000000001139
    Message no. CPOC821

  • How not to Fix Heigh of Pi-Sheet Tables

    Hi,
    By default, the heigh of pi-sheet tables is fixed and scrolling is activated when the table has more than 10 lines. It's possible to display all the lines of a table dinamically without scroll (change the heigh of the table). May I change the standard layout?  If the table has 20 lines, when I open the pi-sheet I want to see the 20 lines of my table xstep.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pablo

    Hello Arne,
    Thanks for your post. Very useful! 
    But if I change the CSS like you say, the horizontal scroll of my table is also hidden and the screen is too much large because the table has many columns. The right-justified parameters are not displayed in the screen for the final user and he has to use the Sap scroll to see them. It's posible to display only horizontal scroll?

  • Quality lot generation through PI sheet

    Hi,
    I have the following requirement:
    In the PI sheet I need to confirm an operation and which in turn would generate a inprocess inspection lot. In that lot I need to do a result recording. Every step is to be carried out through PI sheet. Can anybody give me any idea on how should I approach? Is there any standard process instruction category (I could not find one that would work in this situation.. may be I am missing something).
    Thanks in advance!!
    Snigdho

    Hi,
    There are some SAP standard process instruction categories, which you can use if it meets your requiements. These are like characteristics based instructions where you give the values. If not you can create the Process Instructions Categories of your own with your own required characteristics.
    Otherwise the Process instructions can be of Text type also.
    The other way is to define your PI by Xsteps.

  • Process Instruction generation - PI Sheet

    Fellow Experts,
    I've used Process Management with a 3rd party MES application to download Process Instructions (via Cont recipes) in the past. I've gone thru the documents for PI Sheet creation & understand that unlike with a 3rd party Process Control System (where PI's are automatically created & sent), one has to go onto the Master Recipe or the Process Order & enter/define the Process Instructions that are intended to be sent to the Process Control (PI Sheet in this case).
    Is my understanding correct?? If yes, is there not a way with which I can invoke the PI creation automatically with the release of the Order ??
    Cheers

    Hi Andy,
    Process management coordinates the exchange of production-relevant data between the ERP system and the independent production level (of an external system).
    The production level can be controlled as follows:
    Manually: Steps carried out manually by the operator
    Automated: Steps carried out automatically by process control system
    Partially automated: Steps are carried out both manually and automatic
    It depends how we are going do this.
    If it is manual, control room person or engineer in the Plant has to feed the values maintained in PI sheet.
    If it is automated, the value will come from machine. Like from DCS, PI sheet values will be populated automatically. For this configuration and ABAP coding is needed.
    Process instruction types:
      Type 0: Universal Process Instruction Category
      Type 1: Process Parameters
      Type 2: Process Data Requests
      Type 3: Process message subscription
      Type 4: Process Data Calculation Formulas
      Type 5: Inspection Results Requests
      Type 6: Dynamic Function Calls
      Type 7: Sequence Definition
    Type 1,2 and 3 can be used with Process control systems (automated) and all except type 3 can be used with PI sheets (manual)
    Control Recipes transfers control data from the process order to process control.
    The information contained in a control recipe and the destination to which it is sent are user-defined.
    Control recipes can be sent to :
    Automated Plants         PI-PCS interface by control recipe download.
    Manually Controlled Plants    Sent to the PI sheet.
    For characteristic-based process instructions- ABAP list-based PI sheet or a browser-based PI sheet.
    For XSteps, browser-based PI sheets
    PI sheets used to exchange data between the partially or completely manually operated production level and the SAP system (PP-PI).
    In manually operated production lines, this usually involves a process operator who uses the PI sheet to transfer production-relevant actual data to the SAP system and receives data from the SAP System
    Types of PI sheet:
      The ABAP list-based PI sheet
      The browser-based PI sheet
    Hope you got the answer.

  • Invitation to the XStep Cafe

    Dear manufacturing community,
    I am solution manager for SAP Manufacturing at SAP with 6 years consulting experience in PP-PI (specially PI Sheets and XSteps).
    To spread the know how about these topics I would like to establish a regular and informal web meeting to discuss topics around ERP-based manufacturing using PI sheets (PP-PI) or the newly introduced electronic work instructions for PP. Both objects can be defined by XSteps (introduced in R/3 Enterprise Ext.2.0). Therefore (and to emphasize the informal character) I will call the virtual meeting 'XStep Café'.
    There will be no specific agenda but any suggestions are welcome. In the meeting room I (or any other participant) can share documents actual live systems or presentations. The sessions can also be recorded for future reference (if there are no objections).
    Scope:
    - Exchange of experience
    - Discussion on common problems
    - Share of tipps and tricks
    Out-of-scope:
    - Consulting on specific customer issues
    - Training replacement
    - OSS replacement
    Required knowledge (minimum on the SAP training level):
    - PP/PP-PI
    - PP-PI process management / XSteps
    Interested persons that don’t meet these requirements may join but don’t expect training!
    If you are interested, please email me with the following information:
    - Name
    - Company, industry
    - Area of responsibility
    - Level of PP/PP-PI experience
    - Email address
    - Country & Time zone
    - Headset available?
    I am planning the first ‘opening’ on 15th May 3pm-4pm CET (German time). The login link will be sent out at a later time to all confirmed participants.
    You may forward this information to any other recipient who meets the requirements.
    Hope to see you soon for a coffee

  • XSteps based Control Receipe (PI_CRST) failed

    Hello Experts,
      When I complete the XSteps based PI Sheet in CO60 the process message 'PI_CRST' is failed with error message "Control Recipe destination not available in process order".  Can any one help me with this?
    with best regards
    K. Mohan Reddy

    Hello Mohan,
    You need to look at a couple of things to find the root cause of this issue.
    1. Have you configured the control recipe destination in the XStep tree? - This can be done under the destinations tab at the root level. Even if you do not include the destination for the children XSteps of the root, it will flow from the top but never the other way round.
    2. Check the destinations you are using for the process message category PI_CRST. In an XStep scenario, you should be using :
    PI02 Type: 01 Destination Address: COCI_CONFIRM_CONTROL_RECIPE 
    PI09 Type: 01 Destination Address: COCI_CONF_CNTRL_REC_TO_PO_XS
    Regards,

  • Uploading XSteps

    Hi,
    Iam maintaining XSteps for PI sheets centrally in the XStep repository. I need to assign these XSteps process instructiions to many master recipes. How can I do this. I tried to record the assignement in master recipe but I couldnt see the XStep tab there.
    Can anybody tell what is the way to do the upload of XSteps. In case of characteristic based process instructions we can do LSMW. Anything is possible like that for XSteps? Or Do I need to assign the Xsteps individually for each material.?
    Appreciate your inputs

    Hello ,
    The default maximum file size for SharePoint Lib is 50 MB. You can change the maximum file upload size in SharePoint 2010 .However;
    a large volume of very large files can affect farm performance.
    Ref to change maximum file upload size 
    http://aryannava.com/2011/05/30/how-to-change-the-maximum-file-upload-size-in-sharepoint-2010/
    I would suggest you that instead of uploading large files to SharePoint, you can Upload those files to File server or
    media steaming server and Share those links to SharePoint server.
    You can embed those links to SharePoint Silver Media player in .mp4 or .wmv formats. 
    Best Regards Kuldeep Verma
