Manual Process Instruction Maintenance 

Use

Using this function, you create process instructions manually if they contain process-specific data that cannot be transferred to the process instruction automatically.

The measurement readings to be recorded when a process order is executed vary from process to process. Since no information on this is maintained elsewhere in the process order, you must create the process instructions for the relevant phase manually.

Prerequisites

The following settings have been made in Customizing for Process Management:

Features

You can use the following functions to maintain process instructions in the master recipe or process order:

Using this function, you can maintain all process instructions. On the characteristic overview, you can:

The characteristic structure required for your process instructions depends on the requirements of your process control systems. For information on designing process instructions, see Process Instruction Structure.

A value can be assigned automatically to some characteristics when you create the control recipe. A special indicator is set for these characteristics on the characteristic overview. For more information, see Process Instructions: Automatic Characteristic Value Assignment.

Using this function, you can maintain process instructions for the R/3 PI sheet.

The process instruction assistant (PI assistant) offer specific selection screens and prompts for every process instruction type, guiding you through process instruction definition.

The entries in the process instruction assistant focus on content and do not require any knowledge of process instruction characteristics and how they are used. The system creates the characteristic structure of the process instruction when you exit the assistant.
