After you have fully maintained a PI sheet, you can complete it.

You can complete a PI sheet as follows:

• In PI sheets with a completing signature (asynchronous signature process), the Complete function is automatically triggered when the last signature is executed.
• In PI sheets without a completing signature, you must carry out the Complete (document) function explicitly.

You can only complete a PI sheet if:

• All required entries have been made
  The asterisk next to the text field shows you which entries are required.
• All calculations have been carried out successfully
• All necessary process messages have been created

The following requirements must be met if you want to use a signature to complete the PI sheet.:

• In the control recipe destination, Signature strategy for process steps field
• In the process instruction

When you complete a PI sheet, the system creates a message on the control recipe status (message category PI_CRST). This triggers the following changes:

• The PI sheet is assigned status Completed.
• The control recipe is assigned status Processed.
• The corresponding phases in the order are assigned status Control recipe completed

PI sheets with status Completed:

• Are archived in the batch record if the Batch record required indicator has been set for the order type used
• Are automatically deleted when the process order is deleted
• Can manually be deleted in the worklist if the No process data documentation required indicator is set for the order type used

If you want to use a digital signature to complete a PI sheet, perform the following activity:
