Control Recipe Status (SAP Library - Process Management (PP-PI-PMA))

Control Recipe Status

Use

Every control recipe has a status that documents its current processing status. In the control recipe monitor, you can obtain information on the control recipe status at any time; see Displaying of Control Recipe Lists.

For more detailed information on the errors that have occurred, refer to the control recipe log; see Control Recipe Logs.

Features

The following control recipe statuses exist:

Status	Meaning
Created	The control recipe was created but has not yet been sent to its destination. This status is also assigned to a control recipe if it could not be sent due to an error. In this case, however, the corresponding entry is highlighted in red in the monitor.
Downloaded	The control recipe has been sent to its destination.
Discarded	The control recipe cannot be executed. For this reason, processing is terminated before the execution is started.
Terminated	The control recipe is terminated after the start of its execution.
Processed	The execution of the control recipe has been completed.

Control recipes for external systems are set to Downloaded as soon as they have been transferred to the corresponding transactional remote function call (tRFC). For information on the execution of the tRFC, see the tRFC Log.

How do you Update the Control Recipe Status?

During control recipe processing, you update the control recipe status as follows:

Automatically when creating or sending a control recipe

When you carry out these functions, the system sets the corresponding control recipe statuses to Created or Downloaded.

By creating a corresponding process message

This is necessary if you want to set the status of control recipes for process control systems to Discarded, Terminated, or Processed.

Process Message Creation

By setting the corresponding PI sheet to Complete or Technically complete

You thus set the status of control recipes that are processed as R/3 PI sheets to Discarded, Terminated, or Processed. The corresponding status message is created internally by the system.

Setting the PI Sheet Status to "Complete"

Completing of Browser-Based PI Sheets

Setting the PI Sheet Status to "Technically Complete"

Integration to the Process Order

If you use the status messages defined in the standard system to update the control recipe status, the system automatically updates the corresponding order status, too.
