Assign XSteps in Application

Use

You can assign XSteps, which you can use to control the processing of the individual worksteps, to the header and operations in the routing and to the header and operations of the production order (see XSteps in Shop Floor Control ).

Procedure

You create an XStep tree.
You create an XStep within the XStep tree.
You maintain the following data on the Properties screen for the XStep:
- A control instruction destination
  
  You create the control instruction destination in Customizing under Shop Floor Control Integration Process Integration Control Instructions/Work Instructions Control Instruction Destination Define and Set Up Control Instruction Destinations.
- Parameters and valuations (where necessary)
  
  See also: XStep Parameters
- A scope of generation (where necessary)
  
  See also: XStep Generation
- An application context (where necessary)
  
  With the application context, you specify whether the XStep is to apply to an operation, to the entire routing, or to the production order. If you do not assign an application context, the system adopts the context that must be defined for the XStep tree.
You create process instructions for the XStep.

You create references to standard XSteps for the XStep (where necessary).

You create further subordinate XSteps for the XStep (where necessary).
You check the XStep tree and correct any errors that are found.
You simulate and test the work instructions for individual control instruction destinations.
