Use

In this IMG activity, you activate the cross-plant standard XStep repository by defining the reference plant. You can only define one plant as the reference plant.

You can also invoke this IMG activity directly via transaction CMX22.

The cross-plant standard XStep repository is a central repository for standard XSteps that you can use in different plants. In this way, you can reduce the maintenance effort for master data and ensure a standardized way of working in all plants.

You will find the cross-plant standard XStep repository for the process industry in the SAP Easy Access Menu under Logistics --> Production Process --> Master Data --> Cross-Plant Standard XStep Repository.

You will find the cross-plant standard XStep repository for the PP area in the SAP Easy Access Menu under Logistics --> Production --> Master Data -> Cross-Plant Standard XStep Repository.

The cross-plant standard XStep repository is a separate repository. The definition of a reference plant does not cause the standard XSteps that you have already created for the specified plant to be automatically adopted in the cross-plant repository. To adopt parts of the plant-dependent repository in the cross-plant repository, you must create this data in the cross-plant repository. The standard functions of the XML export or import are available for this purpose.

The reference plant is a technical aid that is needed only to enable the release of the necessary characteristic groups for process instructions and process messages.

Note

  • SAP recommends that you only create new standard XSteps in the cross- plant repository after the latter has been activated. These standard XSteps can then be used in another plant if required.
  • All characteristics that are also used in other plants to define XSteps must exist in the reference plant.

Requirements

You must have released at least the following characteristic groups for process instructions and process messages for the plant that you have specified as the reference plant.

Standard settings

The cross-plant standard XStep repository is not activated.

Activities

  • To activate the cross-plant standard XStep repository, you must select the plant you want to use as the reference plant.

    SAP recommends that you subsequently make no further changes to the reference plant.

  • If you use the Delete Selection button to deselect the reference plant, the cross-plant standard XStep repository is deactivated and you can again set references to standard XSteps in the plant-dependent repository.

    You must export XStep entries that you have created in the cross-plant repository and which you want to continue using, so that you can then use them in the plant-dependent repository.
