Process: Order Record Storage (PP-PI) 

Purpose

This process describes a typical scenario for order record storage.

Prerequisites

The process order has status Order record required.

The system sets this status when you release the order, provided that the Order record required indicator is set in the order type-dependent parameters (see Customizing for Process Order).

Process Flow

  1. A process order was executed in your plant. An order record must be created for this process order because this has been specified in the order type.
  2. You simulate the order record based on the data currently existing in the system and check whether the data is complete.

If the data is not complete, you make sure that missing data is added, for example by sending all process messages to their respective destinations.
  1. If it has not been done yet, shop floor control and quality assurance must now set the following statuses for you to be able to store the order record:
  1. When the simulation lists are complete and the status requirements met, you export the record to the content server.

Result

The status Order record required is deactivated. This means that you can now delete the process order and its inspection lots, PI sheets, and process messages.
