Discarding/Cancellation (Termination) of Browser-Based PI Sheets

Use

If a process needs to be terminated due to a malfunction, for example, the processing of the associated PI sheet must likewise be terminated.

The SAP system differentiates between Discard and Cancel (terminate) depending on whether or not the PI sheet has already been processed.

You have two options for discarding a PI sheet:

  • Selection result screen

  • Process order

    In the process order, you can discard PI sheets for control recipe destinations of category 4 (browser-based PI sheet).

    This is only possible for PI sheets with the status New . It is not possible to use the Cancel (terminate) function for processed PI sheets.

    The PI sheets cannot be discarded in the process order for control recipe destinations of category 1 (ABAP-list-based PI sheet).

    For control recipe destinations of categories 2 and 3m you can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) WORKORDER_PISHEET in enhancement spot ES_WORKORDER_PISHEET to implement the functionality.

Features

If you discard or terminate a PI sheet, the system generates and sends a corresponding message on the control recipe status (message category PI_CRST) that triggers the following changes:

  • If you have not yet processed the PI sheet:

    • The status of the PI sheet is set to Discarded

    • The status of the control recipe is set to Discarded

    • The statuses of the corresponding phasen in the order are set to Control recipe discarded

      This means that you can change the phases again and generate a new control recipe for them.

  • If you have already started processing the PI sheet:

    • The status of the PI sheet is set to Terminated

    • The status of the control recipe is set to Terminated

    • The status of the corresponding phases in the order is set to Control recipe finished

PI sheets that have the status Discarded or Terminated

  • Are archived in the batch record if the Batch Record Required indicator has been set for the order type used

  • Are automatically deleted as well when the process order is deleted

  • Can be deleted manually in the worklist if the No Process Data Documentation Required indicator has been set for the order type used
