Start or Repeat a Process or Process Step (SAP Library

Start or Repeat a Process or Process Step

Use

You start and repeat processes and process steps in the same way. The status indicates whether you need to perform a start or repeat.

You start or repeat a process step for the following reasons:

Breakpoint

A conditional or unconditional breakpoint precedes the process step.

Process termination

Process steps can be terminated because of a program error or technical error. You can display the reason for the termination in the job log.

Incorrect personnel numbers

Use the spool list and job log to check the process step. Remove the error and repeat the process step.

Note

If a process step or process is repeated, the following personnel numbers are processed again:

Personnel numbers without the status Successful

Personnel numbers with the status Not Selected

Caution

You can only repeat processes, process steps, and personnel number sets that were successful if you change the status for the personnel numbers in question.

Prerequisites

You have created a process.

Result
