Use

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.

Prerequisites

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.:

  • A signature with an asynchronous signature process has been defined as the last process instruction of the control recipe destination in the process order (see Definition of Signatures ).

  • The signature type digital signature has been defined in Customizing for Control Recipe Destinations.

  • A signature strategy has been assigned at one of the following:

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

  • In the process instruction

For more information about digital signatures and the required settings, see Approval Using Digital Signatures .

Implications

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
