How to use System Variable SY_ROW in the Process Instruction Category

Hi ,
I want to assign a value of System variable SY_ROW to a Normal Variable in the Process Instruction Category and use it in the formula. Please help me with the Syntax in the Process Instruction Category to get the System Variable: SY_ROW value into a Variable.
Thanks,
SV

Hello,
You can use these variables in formulas or, for example, to pass on certain pieces of information to a function module. How the function called by the function module behaves depends on the type of information passed on.
SY_ROW is used to view the current Table line.
Please look into the below link for more details on syntax :

Process instruction characteristics and process messages

Hi,
Can anyone tell me why process instruction characteristics is required when only process message characteristics are displayed in PI sheets (input or output).
Regards
Joe

Hi,
Answer is already there in your question.
and that is
(input or output)
Now you creates the one Process Message characteristic let's it is Temperature.But how it's value comes in the PI Sheet (As Ouput or Input manually by user) that is decided by that Process Instruction Characteristic.
Now when you creates the Process Instruction Category (O12C) except type 0 you have choice of creates it by using help of Process Assistant.This Assistant assigns the Process Instruction Characteristic to the process Massage Characteristic automatically when you select the specific radio button or Activate the check box during that PI category creation.
For Example when you creates the PI category Type 2 using Assistant.Here after naming first screen comes to you is to define type of Process data Request.Here when you select the radio Button for Simple process data request then indirectly you assign the process Instruction characteristic PPPI_DATA_REQUEST_TYPE and its Value comes as Simple.
But when you create the PI category type 0 you have to assign this PI Characteristic manually because its Universal Category and there is no assistant which helps you.

Process Message Category

Dear Experts,
I need a clarification How does Process message work in PP PI sheet
See as i know control recipe is created when process order is released
For setting point of control recipe destination and instruction category is assigned in Master Recipe. Control recipe destination has thier addresses and porcess instruction to be generated . Characteristic and thier values are assigned in process instruction category.
I would like to know that where is process message/ Category in the loop and How does it trigger in PPPI sheet
Can you explain me to get away from this doubt.
Regards,

SAP has some standard Process mesaages.
Each message has a destnation, which is nothing but a BAPI.
So when a Process message is created with relevant inputs. the data is sent to the BAPI when it is sent to the destination.which gets executed and achieves the results intended for.
For example PI_Prod is use for doing a GR (101) for a Process order.
When we create a Process message with PI_PROD category all the relevant details like Order no, Material , qty, units and Storage location are neeed.then when you send it. The GR is posted.
.it is used for posting relevant changs from XMII or external systems.

Process Instruction Characteristics

Hi
Can somebody give me some tips on how the Process instruction characteristics data is populated into the PI sheet.
regards
Kiki

hi,
follow the insructions-
1. process intructions contents process instruction category.This PI category contents PI characteristics.This PI characteristic contents characteristic values.Ex-If you select INSTR as PI category.It contents characteristic PPPI_INSTRUCTION.
2.Create control recipe destination in O10C.Enter your plant. entet your destination say 01- MIXING DIVISION.
3.select destination type- transfer to abap based PI sheet.
4.select process instructions to be generated.
5.enters at position & sequence-01
6.select -Ex--INSTR/ OR ANYOTHER KEY.
SAVE THE SETTING
select pi category assignment & assign the pi categories. save settings.
create master recipe.assign phase to operation.
select phase raw & double click.
You see the process instruction. assign pi category INSTR. enter the same. you see the characteristic. go to tab value. Here you could assign your process related intructions/ use PI assistant.

Devendra

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.

Creating new characteristic in Process Instruction Sheet

I need to create new characteristics and i want them to appear on the PI sheet. i.e in the txn CO58. How do I do it?

Dear Neeraj,
First Define Char in O25C or CT04. Now check which Process Instruction Category You are using. You can check all PI categories in O12C. Now assign it under Characteristics/Process instruction category.

Custom process Instruction for co-product

Hello everyone,
I have a material BOM in which one of the components has negetive value and hence is a co-product.
Now i have a process order for this material,in which if i go inside operations and then by selecting a phase if i go for Process Instructions
there exists a Process Instruction category ZCONF in which i have created PI custom characteristics fot teh co-product.
Now the problem is I want to fetch the values from the BOm for the co-product when the process order is released.I am not able to find an exit for this.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Yashi Trivedi

Hi Yash,
The below statement is not so clear.
"Now the problem is I want to fetch the values from the BOm for the co-product when the process order is released.I am not able to find an exit for this".
What values are you trying to fectch to production order.

Process Intruction Category

I am not getting PI_CONS process intruction category in during creation of Master Receipe(C201).
Please let me know possible reasons.

Hi,
I think standard Characteristics and Massage catagories are not created in that client that's why you are facing that problem.
So go to CT04 and confirm all those Characteristics are already created or not.If not then you have to transport or generates them automatically by the system.
For that Path is SPRO ---> Production Planning for Process Industries ---> Process Management --->
Standard Settings --->Transport Predefined Characteristics.
Similarly check std. Process Massage Characteristics are available or not in that Client (T.code is O13C) if not then Generates them internally by using below path,
SPRO ---> Production Planning for Process Industries ---> Process Management --->
Standard Settings ---> Transport Predefined Message Categories (T.code is O22C)
After completes the above things try to create Process Instruction Category.

Dhaval.

Process instructions

Hi,
I have maintained CONS_I as the Instruction category with scope of generation as 01 (for all reservation items) in customizing.
When I create the process order and try to generate the control recipe I get the error that PPPI_RESERVATION_ITEM is not assigned a value. When I checked I find that the system is creating a PI for the header material also with PI item number 0000. I dont understand why this is getting created though I require only PI instruction for consumption of components.
Please let me know why do we get PI with number 0000 for the header material.
Regards
Ram

Dear SIr,
I have checked it for almost 10 times and finds that Gen Scope 01 - For All reservation which you have used earlier is perfectly ok.It gives process instruction for only order Components.
Gen. Scope 02 - For all order Items gives process instruction for only Header material and 03 - For all Reservation and order item gives process instrcution for both Components(9999) and header(0000) material.
If you are using any filter then remove it.
If it is possibel then insted of using CONS_I pls use CONS_1.
Regards,
Dhaval

Error while creating process instruction sheet in COR2

While creating Process instruction sheet, the following error is occuring. Please guide me to resolve the issue.
Define variable QTYPRODUCED for default value
Message no. CPOC110
Diagnosis
In the process instruction, variable QTYPRODUCED is defined for the value that you want the system to propose when data is entered in the PI sheet. This value does, however, not exist because it has not yet been defined as a variable.
If you want to use a variable in a process instruction, however, you must first have defined it in a preceding process instruction or in the same process instruction.
Procedure
Define variable QTYPRODUCED in one of the preceding process instructions or in the same process instruction.
Define Variable
Regards
Kumar

1. Assign characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE to the process instruction before the message characteristic to which the variable is to refer
2. Assign the required variable name to characteristic PPPI_VARIABLE.
