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.

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. One obvious use case is for mobile CRM where a sales agent would have all his data right in his hand without the need for a (still heavy) notebook to carry with him. But what about tasks in a manufacturing environment?

BAdI for Flexible SXS Explosion Date
|
VN:F [1.9.22_1171] Rating: 3.0/5 (1 vote cast) |
Once you create an order the explosion date for all master data is set to the start date of that order. Since this might happen well before the actual execution date you might want to change something on short notice in the XSteps section before you actually create a control recipe.If you have release the old version of your SXS and you have the business function active which prevents the change of released SXS’s you can only create a new version from the current date with the changes. However the old orders still have the explosion date in the past and will not be able to use the new version.
Today the note 1452604 has been released which adds a BAdI to implement custom code which is called whenever the explosion date is accessed in the context of XSteps.
