Rating: 5.0/5 (4 votes cast)

When a table in the PI Sheet has more than 10 lines the scrolling of the table content is activated. When you scroll down the headers of the table columns get lost because they are also in the scrolling area. This is of course not very user friendly. In the following section I describe a simple stylesheet enhancement that solves this problem. The initial idea came from one of SAP’s customers (thank you Christoph!) and I have added the fix for dropdown lists. Read more »

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 		MII for Batch Manufacturing (SDN Template)
VN:F [1.9.22_1171]
Rating: 2.5/5 (2 votes cast)

Since January 27th 2010 there is a new template on the SDN called Batch Manufacturing with SAP MII:

The batch manucfacturing templates extend the SAP MII architecture by providing prebuilt, plant and role-specific composites to support manufacturing preparation, execution, documentation and reporting. Batch manufacturing with SAP MII delivers preconfigured templates for 9 application areas – role-specific manufacturing operations cockpits, manufacturing order list, material identification, work instructions, quality control, production confirmation, shift book (for shift set-up, management and reporting), monitoring and logging, as well as manufacturing performance (KPIs and production report).

Tuesday, February 2, 2010 		Apple’s iPad: Is it also good for Manufacturing?
VN:F [1.9.22_1171]
Rating: 3.5/5 (2 votes cast)

When I saw Apple’s presentation on the iPad I was very excited. I also own an iPhone privately and I find it very useful. So I am definitely interested in having one for me. 🙂 But then I also started thinking about other more business-like usages for that device.
