Special Features when Using PP-PI

The areas of PP (Production Planning) and PP-PI (Production Planning - Process Industries) both use the same InfoCubes and related standard queries. Take the following, therefore, into consideration:

When manufacturing orders are analyzed, data is extracted from production orders (PP) and process orders (PP-PI) and cumulated independently of the order category.

However, order category (0COORD_TYPE) is available as a navigation attribute for the manufacturing order (0PRODORDER) in the InfoCube. You can use this as an additional selection criterion in your queries (for example, as a filter value or selection variable), as required. The production order has the order category 10 and the manufacturing order has the order category 40.

In the following cases, object descriptions in PP and PP-PI are different:

PP Description	PP-PI Description	Info Object
Operation	Phase (operation data from process orders is not analyzed)	0OPERATION 0ACT_FIN_OK / 0ACT_FIN_OP 0ACT_FIN_OK / 0ACT_FIN_OP
Suboperation	Secondary resource	0S_OPERAT
Work center	Resource	0WORKCENTER 0WRKCT_CATG 0WRKCT_RESP

In these cases, the Standard System uses the descriptions from PP. If you only use PP-PI, replace the info object description with the corresponding PP-PI term.
