This section describes which process instruction characteristics you have to assign when defining process instruction categories of type process data calculation formula for the SAP PI sheet.

You need to define the following information in a process data calculation formula by assigning characteristics:

You can define the message characteristics in any sequence. However, the process instruction characteristics pertaining to a message characteristic must be defined in the sequence described in the corresponding section. You determine the sequence of the characteristics using sorting numbers.

When you create a process instruction, the characteristics of the process instruction category are copied to the process instruction. You can, however, change or delete the characteristic assignments in the process instruction.

Characteristic values providing general information, such as the requested message category, can be assigned in the process instruction category. Process-specific values, such as the operation number, can be added to the process instruction in the master recipe or in the process order.

Requirements

Define characteristics for process instructions

Set up process message categories

Standard settings

The standard system contains examples of process data calculation formulas for SAP PI sheets.

Activities

  1. Select the process instruction of type "process data calculation formula" to which you want to assign characteristics.
  2. Go to the Characteristics/instruct. cat. screen.
  3. To assign characteristics, choose New entries.
  4. Enter the sort number and the name of the characteristics you want to assign.

    As an aid, you can display the characteristics assignments of the message category you want to request.

  5. Choose Enter and add a characteristic value if required.
  6. Save the settings.

Further notes

If the value of a characteristic can be assigned automatically in the control recipe or the process order, the "A" indicator (automatic value assignment) is displayed for this characteristic in the instruction category. For more information on the value assignment function used for the characteristic, see field help for the indicator.

Note on BC Sets and Transport

If you include your process instruction categories in a Customizing transport, the corresponding long texts are included in the transport request. However, the long texts cannot be included in a BC set. If you want to include your process instructions in another client or another system with the help of BC sets, you have to include the long texts manually in a workbench request and transport them separately (see Transport long texts of process instruction categories).
