 Worklist for PI Sheets Locate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can use several different transactions available in the PI Sheet menu in process management to select PI sheets.

  • You can use the Find PI Sheets transaction for a general PI sheet selection . After calling the transaction, a selection screen appears on which you can enter your selection criteria. The worklist appears only after you have chosen Execute .

  • The following transactions are available for a specific PI sheet selection :

  • Worklist - Maintain

  • Worklist - Complete

  • Worklist - Check

In this way, the functions provided are tailored according to your role in the plant. The shift manager, for example, is mainly interested in checking and completing PI sheets, whereas the process operator is responsible for maintaining them. Each of the three worklists provides a special selection of PI sheets for the processing type you have chosen. When you choose Worklist - Complete , for example, the system only displays PI sheets that have status To be completed .

Features

SAP has defined a selection variant and a display variant for each of the above-mentioned transactions. Each of the three selection variants for worklists is assigned to one user parameter . You can also define your own selection and display variants.

You can enter the user parameters in your user master record and assign the appropriate standard selection variant or your own selection variant to it. The selection variants themselves can have your own or standard display variants assigned to them.

  • You can create selection variants as follows:

  • In Customizing for Process Management by choosing Control Recipes/PI Sheets -> Selection Variants for PI Sheets -> Define Selection Variants for PI Sheets

  • On the selection screen of the relevant transaction by choosing Goto -> Variant -> Save as variant...

  • You can create display variants in the worklist's list overview.

  • You can enter user parameters in your user master record in Customizing for Process Management by choosing Control Recipes/PI Sheets -> Selection Variants for PI Sheets -> Assign Selection Variant to User .

Depending on the settings you have made in your user master record, one of the following screens appears after you have called the relevant transactions:

  • The selection screen containing predefined selection criteria for the processing type you have chosen. You can change these criteria. The worklist only appears after you have chosen Execute .

  • The worklist with the standard selection variant and the standard display variant

  • The worklist with the standard selection variant and your own display variant
