Use

In this IMG activity, you define the trial types for Trial Management.

Requirements

You have defined the trial monitor task groups.

You have defined trial views.

Standard settings

SAP provides the following trial types with the associated view groups and trial monitor task groups. The trial types provided have standard settings.

HR01    Trial Collection

GR01    Bench Scale Trial Group

GR02    Pilot Plant Trial Group

GR03    Factory Trial Group

TR01    Bench Scale Trial

TR02    Pilot Plant Trial

TR03    Factory Trial

SAP provides the API ABAP class CL_RMXT_API_TRIAL.

Activities

  1. For the new trial type, use a suitable ID in the customer namespace (Y* or Z*).

    Note that customer data that is not in the customer namespace can be overwritten in the event of a release upgrade.

  2. Assign an API ABAP class.
  3. Assign a trial monitor task group.
  4. Assign a view group.
  5. Specify a trial type description and a trial icon for the workbench.
  6. Enter the number of days for which you want to store the messages in the application log.
  7. Assign a transformation group.
  8. Define the class assignment.
  9. Assign lower-level trial types.
  10. Assign technical object relationships (such as DOCU - Documents).
  11. Assign number ranges.

    Note: Number ranges are dependent on the plant.

  12. Assign text types in order to divide long texts into categories.

Class Assignment

In Class Assignment, you enter Classification classes.

When you call up the Class Assignment trial view, the system enters these classes as default values for trials to which no classes are assigned.

You can also link each class to a trial monitor task. When you execute the assigned task in the trial monitor, the system checks whether the associated class is assigned to the trial and whether values are assigned to the class characteristics indicated as Entry Required. You cannot execute the trial monitor task unless these requirements are met.

Requirements

You have defined Classification classes.

Lower-Level Trial Types

Here, you define which other trial types are allowed to be subordinate to a trial type. This enables you to create a clear trial hierarchy.

Standard settings

The trial types provided have standard settings.

Example

Standard trial types TR01, TR02, and TR03 do not contain any entries, since other trials are not allowed to be subordinate to trials of this type.

Standard trial type GR01 contains the entry TR01. This means that a trial of type GR01 can be assigned other trials of type TR01.

Technical Object Relationships

Here, you define which objects from the trial environment are allowed to be assigned to a trial type.

Standard settings

The trial types provided have standard settings.

SAP provides the following object types for assignment to a trial:
BB    Independent Stability Study Template
DEPBB    Dependent Stability Study Template
DOCU    Documents
EPLOS    External Inspection Lot
EPO    External Process Order
PL    Planned Order
PO    Process Order
RCPDEST    Target Recipe

Example

For standard trial type TR01, the following objects are permitted:

BB    Independent Stability Study Template

DEPBB    Dependent Stability Study Template

DOCU    Documents

RCPDEST    Target Recipe

For standard trial type TR02, the same objects are permitted as for trial type TR01. The following objects are also permitted for setting up the connection to the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component:

PL    Planned Order

PO    Process Order

Number Ranges

Assign an internal and an external number range to each trial type. Number ranges are assigned on a plant-specific basis.

When a trial is created, the system either takes a new number from the internal number range (if you do not specify the trial name) or it checks the trial name you have entered against the external number range.

Requirements

You have defined number ranges for Trial Management.

Text Types

You can assign any long text type to each trial type.

In the Long Texts trial view, you can then assign one long text of each text type to the trial in the workbench.

Note: You can create and edit the text types in the TRIAL object by choosing Text Objects and IDs, Change.

Standard settings

SAP provides the following texts types for trial management:

0001    Planning

0002    Trial Log

0003    Report
