SAP PP PI Process Management

This document discusses how Process Management can be used to control parameters in process industries. Process Management allows production data to be exchanged between SAP R/3 and external production systems. Production can be controlled manually, automatically, or partially automated using Process Instructions sent as Control Recipes to operators or PCS. Operators use PI Sheets populated from Recipes, while PCS receives Recipes as parameters. Messages are returned to SAP to trigger business transactions by linking Process Message and Instruction categories.

PURPOSE

This component can be used to coordinate the exchange of


production-relevant data between the R/3 System and the R/3-
independent production level. The production level can be controlled
as follows:

• Manually: the planned production steps are carried out manually by


the process operator

• Automated: the planned production steps are carried out


automatically by the process control system

• Partially automated: the planned production steps are carried out both
manually by a process operator and automatically by a process control
system
DATA FLOW - Overview
PROCESS FLOW- Overview
Process Instruction

Process instruction contains the data to be fed to the external system


or to the line operator.

Process Message

Process message is the output from the external system which will be
the input for SAP to complete business transactions.

Control Recipe

Control recipe is the combination of Process Instructions through


which the parameter are transmitted to the PI Sheet or to the PCS

PI Sheet

A sheet which have some process parameters on its display and will
have editable fields which can be filled by the line operator according
to the actual data.
You can store production-relevant data as process instructions in the
process order.

Once the process order has been released for production and has been
saved, the production-relevant data is combined in control recipes and sent
to process management.

Process management receives the control recipes and sends them to the
process operator or process control system responsible.

If a control recipe is sent to a process operator, the production data stored


in the control recipe is prepared as text that is displayed as PI sheets on the
screen. The process operator can then use the PI sheet to execute the
production steps manually.

If a control recipe is sent to a process control system, the production data


stored in the control recipe is sent as parameters to the production control
system via the PI-PCS Interface. The process control system processes the
data to control and regulate production.
