Session Recording

MDA: Creating notifications / Rework scenario

Unfortunately the audio signal of the this session was not recorded due to a technical issue. I know now how to avoid this in the future but still the audio for the last session is gone. So at least I tried to capture what I have explained in some session notes and I hope that you can at least find some value in it. Maybe we can also repeat some of this in one of the next sessions.

Session Timeline
Time Details
00:00:48 1) Ragu’s issue with non-tabular parameters assignment to proc. mess. in table
00:01:16 Tabular and non-tabular parameters defined
00:01:45 Value help for ‘Process order’ does not allow to select X_ORDER (because it is not a tabular parameter)
00:02:00 You need to enter the parameter X_ORDER manually
00:02:15 A tabular parameter can be selected without problems
00:03:01 2) MDA: Creating notifications based on conditions
00:04:05 How to run the SAP ODA connector in foreground to see what’s happening on the client.
00:04:50 OPC setup of the Matrikon Simulation Server as an A&E data source
00:06:00 – Make sure that the severity filter is set at least for a very large interval to capture all events
00:06:15 Create a test subscription (see also the black ODA window)
00:07:00 Example how to use the A&E subscription in XSteps
00:07:24 The buton ‘Test’ is an MDA element which is triggered also on the event shown before. It also reads additional event data
00:08:20 Check the process message created on that event
00:10:00 If no PI Sheet with event subscriptions is active, no events are sent to ERP
00:11:00 Usage of CO69 to capture events in background (no order relation though)
00:12:30 How the example is set up with XSteps
00:16:00 – MDA element
00:17:10 – Writing of the non-tabular data of the MDA element to tabular parameters (to fill the process message)
00:17:30 – Set a status parameter for the automatic completion of the table line
00:19:04 3) Rework
00:20:30 Example order. Operation 0030 is used. 2 materials are assigned to that operation.
00:21:50 Amongst normal SXS for confirmation and goods issue a special SXS is attached to operation 0030 to enable additional rework XSteps
00:22:00 PI Sheet: regular instructions executed
00:23:00 Rework is triggered
00:24:40 Execute the new PI Sheet with rework instructions
00:25:30 Enable unplanned goods movements
00:27:00 Check order for confirmation data and documented goods movements
00:29:30 Show some details of the function module used to create the new control recipe (no coding provided)
00:32:03 4) Peter’s problem mixing automatic characteristics and symbol valuation
00:34:30 How to include a parameter (e.g. ‘PAR1’) into a long text using ‘&’
00:36:00 – use &PAR1& and NOT &PPPI_MATERIAL& (which worked with the old process instructions)
00:38:31 5) Flag in O10C (external system)
00:39:00 Flag ‘Creation with XSteps’ in TA O10C (Control recipe destinations)
00:39:30 1st alternative to use XSteps for external systems: Do NOT use the flag ‘Creation with XSteps’
– Create manual process instructions and use parameter valuation (e.g. &A_ORD&)
– Provide process instruction type manually (e.g. ‘3 process message subscription’)
– Provide the category of the process instruction manually (e.g. A_CONS_1)
00:41:00 2nd alternative: Use the flag ‘Creation with XSteps’
– NO manual created process instruction
– All parameters get transfered into the control recipe including values
00:42:30 Example of an XML structure of an external control recipe:
– There are NO process instruction categories (only a dummy placeholder)
– Also structural XStep information is included (blocks, parameter names,…)
