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.:
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 .
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:
