You can create a worklist for work instructions according to the following criteria:
● Data on the work instructions, such as:
○ Plant in which the work instructions were created
○ Number of the set of control instructions from which the work instructions were generated
○ Processor group responsible for processing the work instructions
○ Control instruction destination to which the work instructions were sent
○ Date and time the work instructions were created
● Mode of work instructions
○ Active work instructions (no test)
○ Test work instructions
○ Active and test work instructions (all)
● Status of work instructions, such as:
○ New
○ In process
○ To be completed
○ Cancelled (terminated)
○ Discarded
○ Completed
● Order data, such as:
○ Order number
○ Resource to which the work instructions apply
○ Basic dates and scheduled start and finish
● Further material-related data, such as:
○ Material to be produced
○ Batch to be produced
● The associated inspection lot if a quality inspection is defined for the process order
● In some cases, a display variant that determines how the list is prepared for display in the worklist
The selection variant SAP&PP_SEARCH is supplied for searches for work instructions. It has the following preset selection criteria:
● Cross-plant search (the Plant field is thus not mandatory)
● Work instructions that do not have a test function
● Work instructions that have the status New, In Process; To be Completed, Cancelled (terminated), Discarded, Completed, Archived (EBR)
The worklist is displayed in the form of a tabular overview. In the worklist, you can do the following (among other things):
● Sort work instructions according to various criteria
● Display or process individual work instructions
● Delete work instructions
For more information about general list handling, refer to the SAP Library under Getting Started -> Lists -> SAP List Viewer for SAP GUI.
Depending on the type of worklist, you additionally obtain the following information for individual PI sheets:
● The icons in the Messages column show whether process messages have successfully been sent for a PI sheet.
The following icons may be shown:
