Use

In this step, you copy the process message categories supplied by SAP from internal tables as Customizing settings in your plants.

You need these message categories for:

  • Integration with PP, MM, and QM
  • Status management in the case of orders and control recipes

The message categories are adopted with all their assignments (assignment of characteristics, destinations, and destination-specific target fields).

You can change the copied settings in your plant.

In the event of renewed copying of the process messages, your changes are overwritten. Characteristic assignments that were added are not deleted, however.

Prerequisites

You must first adopt the characteristics for process management/process integration supplied by SAP in your plants.

Aktivitäten

  1. Copy the process message categories to your plants.
  2. Specify the Customizing context.

    If you make no specification, the PP-PI message categories are copied.

    Note

    To use process messages in manufacturing, first adopt the standard settings for process messages (Customizing context: no specification) and then enter the Customizing context PP to adopt the process messages for production orders.

Further notes

The names of the predefined process message categories start with PI_.

The names of the predefined manufacturing message categories start with PP_.
