Manufacturing is the Heart of the Supply Network and is Central to Every

Business Dimension


Flexible and dynamic Execution of the Production Process

Manufacturing Execution - Goals

Reduced workload and maintenance effort by providing reusable methods and parameters (Execution Steps)

Provide a personalized work environment for fast and convenient access to different applications and services for plant personal (e.g. Shift Manager and Process Operator)

Flexibility and speed through dynamic, event-driven Production Instruction Sheets (PI-Sheets) with conditional logic

Business Processes Supported

Execution steps can be used in process industries:

For the creation of the PI sheet from the process instructions

contained within the process order

To control the creation of confirmations and process

messages in the PI sheet; for example batch data, goods

movements, and quality data

For the data exchange between the SAP R/3 system and

external control systems based on the industry standard OPC

or the PI-PCS interface

Creating a Standard XStep for a PI-Sheet

Here is a simple example of a process to create, check, simulate and

release a Standard Xstep. We show here a material list with a safety

instruction. The procedure to create such a Xstep is listed below:

Create Folder

Create Standard XStep

Create XStep

Assign Destinations

Define Parameters

Assign Scope of Generation

Create Process Instructions

Check of XStep

Simulation of XStep

Release of Version

Procedure – Create Process Instruction


Procedure – Create a Long Text


Procedure – Check


Procedure – Simulate


Procedure – Release of Version


Prerequisites

Maintenance of XSteps in the Master Recipe :

To ensure that you can maintain XSteps in the master recipe, you

have to create a recipe profile when creating the recipe group.

The new recipe profiles

PI01_XS: Profile for the Process Industry XSteps

PI01XS2: Profile for Process Industry XSteps Optional

are provided as standard for the maintenance of XSteps.

To do this, access Customizing for the Master Recipe and choose

Settings for the Task List Type -> Define Profiles with Default

Values.


Prerequisites

Early Issue of Order Number :

As default, it is only possible to generate an XStep tree in a

process order once the order in question has been saved. You can

also set that an XStep tree is generated, even if it has not yet been

saved.

To do this, access Customizing for process management and

choose Execution Steps (XSteps) -> Set Early Issue of Order

Number.

Introduction

Summary



Features - Summary

Definition:

Execution steps are modules that you use to precisely

describe the execution process.

Usage for :

Creation of PI sheets

Communication between a process order and an external

control system; for example scales or a process control

system

Controlling the creation of confirmations or process

messages in the PI sheet: e.g. batch data, goods

movements, quality data


Business Value

Reduction of time for maintenance of process

instructions

Standard Xsteps can be used as a template or can be

referenced to a standard Xstep

Changes are made centrally in the XStep repository
