No Session today :(

VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 0.0/5 (0 votes cast) |
Unfortunately there was only one SAP colleague online with me today and therefore I decided to skip this session. Probably there was some confusion about the correct time because in Germany the daylight saving time has ended last weekend. I added a red note on the News though…
In the future please always check your local time (e.g. with this link )

Commands on process steps, F4 help with material number prefilled, Rework, custom symbols/generation,…
Today we chatted on the following (amongst other things):
- Handling larger parts of the PI Sheet with commands (Process Step)
- F4 Help for batch number with the material pre-filled (also SXS Library)
- Rework
- Material list with phase assignement information for each component (BAdI Symbols)

The only way to archive PI Sheets and delete the corresponding database tables is to use the EBR functionality. For all other cases (Test PI Sheets or PP-based Electronic Work Instructions) archiving is not possible. However, deletion of old entries from the database becomes essential for maintaining the performance of the ERP system. In this article I describe a pilot note which solves this dilemma (Also explained in Web Session 11). Read more »

The Ultimate Guide to Type 0 Process Instructions
|
VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 4.0/5 (4 votes cast) |
With XSteps it is very easy to setup the instructions for PI Sheets. However there are still a lot of customers out there using the old-style process instructions. In the old days there were only the ABAP list-based PI Sheets and back then it was also relatively easy to create the process intructions (type 1 to 7) because there is the PI assistant available for these types. Since R/3 4.6c and the browser-based PI Sheets a new type 0 was introduced which allowed a much more flexible way of defining and combining different basic elements of an instruction in one single process instruction.

Quick Tip: Hide the Button for Adding New Lines in Tables
|
VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 4.7/5 (3 votes cast) |
There might be situations where you want to handle the adding of lines in a repeated data request (table) entirely with commands or with function modules and tabular parameters. In such a case you usually want to avoid that users can manually create new lines by pressing the small button at the bottom of the table. Here is a quick tip how to hide this button. Read more »
