Process management is the interface between the R/3 System and the systems involved in process control. Due to its flexible structure, it can be linked to fully automated, partially automated, and manually operated lines. Process management comprises the following functions: Receiving control recipes with process instructions from released process orders Transferring control recipes to the corresponding process operators or process control systems Displaying control recipes in natural language in the form of PI sheets that can be maintained on the screen by the process operator Receiving, checking, and transferring process messages with actual process data. Manual entry of process messages.

Process instructions are structures used to transfer data or instructions from R/3 process manufacturing to process control. Information relevant to process control is assigned to the phases of the order and to the control recipe destinations in the form of process instructions. Users define process instructions according to the target system requirements. Process management groups the process instructions into control recipes and transfers them to the control recipe destinations specified in the process order. Control recipes contain all the information that is relevant to the execution of a process order for process control. The system creates one control recipe for each control recipe destination of a process order. You can create control recipes for the following destination types: Process control systems in automated production lines Process operators in manually operated production lines In the second case, the control recipe is displayed in natural language in the form of a PI sheet that can be maintained by the process operator.

. . .

To execute an actual production process, a process order is created on the basis of a master recipe. Together with the control recipe destinations and process instructions, the operation and phase structure is copied from the master recipe. Once a process order has been released for production, the process instructions that are to be sent to the same control recipe destination are grouped in a control recipe and transferred to process control. Exactly one control recipe is created for each control recipe destination.

SAP AG 1999

This example shows the process instructions for the master recipe "Fertilizer, liquid, form SX". Process instructions that are specifically for the production process of fertilizer are maintained for the phases of the recipe Process instruction INSTR has been defined for the first phase 110. It contains a process-specific instruction text for the PI sheet. Control recipe destination FE is assigned to the phases of the recipe Process instructions that are specific to the control recipe destination and are always required in certain positions of a control recipe or PI sheet, regardless of a particular production process or master recipe, are maintained for the control recipe destination (in Customizing). When you create the control recipe, the process instructions are generated in the specified positions of the control recipe.

This example shows a process order that was created based on the recipe "Fertilizer, liquid, form SX". The order was released and the control recipe was created. Take a look at the first phase 110 of the order. In addition to the process instruction INSTR from the recipe, the system generated the process instructions defined for the control recipe destination at the specified position. Note: In this example, the system did not generate the process instruction SEQDEF because the phase did not have a preceding phase. The system generated the process instruction FE_CONS twice because two material components are assigned to phase 110.

SAP AG 1999

When you enter a signature at the phase start, the system creates a process message that reports the start of phase 110 to the process order. When you enter the actual charged quantity of the components, the system creates a process message that triggers a material consumption posting in inventory management. When you enter a signature at the phase end, the system creates a process message that reports the end of phase 110 to the process order.

The graphic shows process message creation using the actual quantity recording of material T-RF700 as an example. The message contains the order number, date and time, material number, charged material quantity, and the unit of measure. When creating the PI sheet, the system determines the order number, the material number, and the unit of measure. When you enter the actual quantity, the system automatically records the date and time. By entering the charged actual quantity, the process message data is complete. The message can then be sent to the appropriate message destination. In our example, this would be the function module for a "goods issue posting", Materials Management.

SAP AG 1999

Process control system 2 RFC destination PCS2

Depending on the destination type, control recipe transfer can be triggered in the following ways: As soon as at least one control recipe has been created for a destination, process management transfers all existing control recipes for this destination. Process management informs a destination about each control recipe created. Depending on the destination, individual control recipes or all existing control recipes can be requested.

From a technical point of view, communication between PP-PI and process control systems is carried out using a tRFC (transactional remote function call). The communication partners transfer data using Common Program Interface Communication (CPI-C) based on TCP/IP. Due to the RFC technology, the application is completely free of communication handling on the R/3 level. On the control computer level, SAP supports the automatic generation of a C-coded RFC partner program with a code generator. The function module in SAP R/3 with which data is to be exchanged is used as the basis for the generation of the partner program. The generated program must be compiled and linked in the control computer and can then be used for the actual application as an Application Program Interface (API). The tRFC ensures that each call is executed only once. The sequence of the calls is not changed. If the target system is not active when the call takes place, the RFC is repeated according to a repetition rate or duration that can be set by the user.

The graphic shows an example of how data can be transferred between PP-PI and process control in a simple process. Since the process in the sample scenario only allows for a small number of variants, it can be represented on the control side using relatively fixed algorithms, for which you can set a few parameters. In the control recipe, PP-PI transfers information on the control algorithms to be executed as well as the parameters to be used. The resources and materials are always the same and thus need not be specified. The process messages to be transferred from process control to PP-PI are not specified in the control recipe. Instead, the messages to be created and sent are defined for each control algorithm on the control side.

The graphic shows an example of how data can be transferred between PP-PI and process control in a complex process. The process control system used in this example not only contains a number of control sequences but also resource and material data. The control sequences can be configured flexibly, thus enabling the production of a large number of variants. In the control recipe, PP-PI transfers information on the phases to be executed as well as on the resources and materials to be used. It also transfers further phase-related parameters if required. In addition to the process parameters, the control recipe contains process message subscriptions and process data requests specifying the messages that are to be sent when the control recipes are executed as well as the message characteristics. The process control system creates exactly these requested messages and sends them to PP-PI.

SAP AG 1999

Vendors of control systems can have the link of their system to PP-PI certified by SAP. In this way, the user gets a predefined interface providing a specified amount of basic functionality. During certification, a test catalog maintained by SAP is used to check whether the control system is able to exchange the required data with PP-PI. Functions going beyond the basic functionality are documented in the certification log. The sample process instructions developed for certification are delivered by SAP. Note that only the interface between PP-PI and the control system is certified. SAP does not certify application functions of the control system.

You can use process parameters to transfer information to process control. In the case of manually operated lines, the process parameter contains a text with control information for the process operator. You can use a process data request to specify that process control is to send a process message with actual process data. You can use a process data calculation formula to specify that a value must be calculated in the PI sheet. This value is then to be sent to specific destinations in a process message. You can use an inspection results request to specify that inspection results are to be recorded for one or more operations/phases during the execution of a process order. For these operations or phases, the function for recording inspection results in QM can be accessed directly from within the PI sheet. A dynamic function call enables the process operator to call an R/3 function module from within the PI sheet. Depending on the function module, this option can be used to start a dialog or retrieve data from internal or external applications. You can use a sequence definition to specify that a phase can only be processed in the PI sheet after you have completed processing the previous phase. In the PI sheet, the process instructions of the phase remain inactive until all required messages have been created for the process instruction of the predecessor.

You use the following types of process instructions to define the different elements of a PI sheet in the master recipe or process order: To define control information and additional notes, you use process parameters. To define input fields and tables for actual data, you use process data requests. In this type of process instruction, you also specify the message category of the message used to report the requested values. To define calculations and their formulas, you use process data calculation formulas. In this type of process instruction, you also specify the message category of the message used to report the calculated values. To define jumps to QM inspection results recording, you use inspection results requests. To define which functions a user can start from within the PI sheet, you use dynamic function calls.

Concepts of Process Mangement: Unit Summary (I)

Process management coordinates the transfer of

data between the R/3 System and the process control level.
Due to its flexible structure, process management

can be linked to automated, partially automated, and manually operated lines.

After a process order has been released for

production, the process instructions maintained in the process order are grouped into control recipes.

Control recipes are either transferred to process

control systems via a specific interface or they are displayed for process operators in the form of a process instruction sheet (PI sheet).
In the PI sheet, the process instructions are

displayed in natural language on the screen.

In return, process management receives process

messages from the process control level and transfers them to the various message destinations.
