Accessing Material Identification

Use

You can use this function to identify and verify ingredients at the production line.

The system uses the material list of the process order to check whether the components that flow into production belong to the process order. This prevents the wrong materials from entering production.

Caution Caution

The material identification check does not include a check of the staged quantities.

End of the caution.

Integration

Material identification is based on the material list of the process order.

Prerequisites

Material identification is carried out using a dynamic function call in the PI sheet.

The standard process instruction category MI_MATBA must be maintained in the master recipe for material identification to be carried out.

The following parameters are variable:

Characteristic	Characteristic Values	Options
PPPI_BUTTON_TEXT	MI for material / batch	Standard text that appears on a button in the PI sheet
PPPI_FUNCTION_DURING_DISPLAY	-/0/1	Function during the display: -> No entry 0 -> Not allowed 1 -> Allowed
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_IDENT_LEVEL	I_CHECK	Material identification level: -> No entry A -> For the order V -> For the operation P -> For the phase
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_CHECK_FOR_START_QUY	I_COMPL	Type of check: -> No entry N -> Component check Y -> Start quantities
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_BATCH_SPLIT	I_BATCH_SPLITT	Batch split allowed: -> No entry Y -> Yes N -> No
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_GET_ALLOWED_VALUES	I_VALREQ	Activate F4-help for required material: -> No entry Y -> Yes N -> No
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_DISPLAY_MATLIST	I_SHOW	Display of required material allowed: -> No entry Y -> Yes N -> No
PPPI_EXPORT_PARAMETER PPPI_MI_MAT_TYPE_IN_RESERV_LIST	I_RESBTYP	Variable is alphanumeric: No entry A -> All materials P -> Pipeline materials R -> Backflushed materials X -> Backflushed materials and pipeline materials N -> All materials except backflushed and pipeline

Features

Material identification includes the following checks:

Start quantity check

At the beginning of production, an amount of each component for the process order must be available, independent of the total required quantity for the process order. The system does not enter the quantity of the identified material.

The start quantity check implies a component check.

Component check

The system only checks whether or not the identified components belong to the process order.

Material identification can be carried out at different times in the process order. The checks take place as defined in the master recipe

For the entire process order

For the operation or phase

Each successful start quantity check and component check are entered in the batch record (EBR).

The start quantity check data is automatically transferred to the batch record when you save. Messages are transferred to the message destination PI01 by way of the standard process message category PI_MIREC.

The following characteristics are transferred:

Characteristic	Description
PPPI_BATCH	Batch
PPPI_EVENT_DATE	Date of event
PPPI_EVENT_DATE	Time of event
PPPI_MI_IDENT_LEVEL	Level of identification
PPPI_MATERIAL	Material number
PPPI_MATERIAL_QUANTITY	Material quantity
PPPI_MI_MAT_TYPE_IN_RESER_LIST	Selection of reservation item
PPPI_OPERATION	Operation number
PPPI_PHASE	Phase number
PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER	Process order
PPPI_RESERVATION_ITEM	Item number of the reservation
PPPI_UNIT_OF_MEASURE	Unit of measure
PPPI_USER	User

Batch split

If the batch of a component is not specified in the material list of the process order, a batch split can be carried out during material identification. The identified batch is transferred to the material list of the process order when you save the material identification.

In this case, one unit of measurement of the identified batch is always transferred to the material list. However, the quantity that actually flows into production is not saved.

Caution Caution

The batch split can theoretically be carried out until the requirements quantity of the component is covered by the identified batch.

End of the caution.

The selection criteria for batch determination can be used to specify and limit the number of possible batches that are allowed for production.
