Use

In this section, you make the necessary settings for the destination of the control instructions that you want to use in your plant.

You can use the following control instruction destination categories:

• Category 2 (download to ext. system initiated by SAP process coordinator).

  The control instruction destination is an external system. The transfer of control instructions to the external system is to be initiated by the SAP system.

  For the transfer of control instructions with XSteps to an external system, the Generation of XSteps Blocks indicator must have been set. (More information on the use of XSteps with the connection of external systems is available in the SAP Library under Production Planning Process Industries -> Process Management -> XSteps ).

• Category 4 (transfer to browser-based PI sheet).

  The control recipe destination is a processor group for the work instructions that are outputted in HTML layout on the screen.

You define the control instruction destinations with their addresses as well as the following additional information where appropriate:

• Details re the type of signature to be used in work instructions (e.g. signature with password check or digital signature)
• Data that influences system performance when work instructions are displayed
• In the case of destinations whose control instructions are prepared as work instructions, you specify the actions in the work instructions for which a log is to be kept and whether a signature has to be executed during the logging of these actions.

Requirements

• If the control instruction destination is an external system you must define an RFC destination (see Define RFC Destination).
• In the following cases, you must define a signature strategy that you want to assign to the control instruction destination (see Define Signature Strategies):
• If a signature strategy with one individual digital signature is to be necessary for signing purposes.
• If a signature strategy with several individual digital signatures is to be necessary for signing purposes.

Standard settings

The standard SAP system supplied contains examples of control instruction destinations.

Activities

To create a new control instruction destination, proceed as follows:

1. Choose New Entries.

   The detail screen for the control instruction destination appears.

2. Enter the key, name, category, and address of the control instruction destination.
3. If just one signature is necessary for signing purposes, you have the following options for control instruction destinations of category 4:
• You set the Digital Signature indicator.
  This setting has the effect that the signature method entered in the individual signature automatically applies to all control instruction destinations to which not signature strategy has been applied.
• You set the Digital Signature indicator and specify a signature strategy with one individual signature in the following cases:
  - For signing-off a workstep
  - For the confirmation of disallowed input values

4. If several individual digital signatures are to be necessary for signing purposes, specify which signature strategy is to be used:
• To sign off a workstep
• To confirm disallowed input values

  If you want to use a different signature strategy for individual execution steps, you can assign them directly to the process instruction.

5. If a log is to be created in the work instructions, specify in the section Logging in Work Instructions:
• Which actions are to be recorded in the log
• Whether a signature must be executed in the log
• Which signature strategy is to be used in the case of logging with digital signature
6. Save.

(1) Types of signature:

The work instructions support the following types of signature:

Digitale signature

• If just one signature is necessary for signing purposes, you have the following options:
• Individual signature with signature method
If you set just the Digital Signature indicator, the signature method entered in the individual signature is automatically used for all control instruction destinations to which no signature strategy has been assigned.
In the case of the individual signature, you assign the desired signature method to the following signature objects:
- PI sheet process step
- PI sheet acceptance of disallowed input values
To make settings for the individual signature, in Customizing for Process Integration choose Control Instructions/Work Instructions -> Digital Signature -> Define Signature Method for Approval with Individual Signature.
• Signature strategy with one individual signature
Additionally assign a signature strategy with an individual signature to the control instruction destination or the process instruction (execution step).
• If more than one signature is necessary for signing purposes, you have the following option:
• Signature strategy with several individual signatures
Additionally assign a signature strategy with several individual signatures to the control instruction destination or the process instruction (execution step).

To make settings for the signature strategy, use the workstep Control Instructions/Work Instructions -> Digital Signature -> Signature Strategy in Customizing for Process Integration.

You need the following authorizations to execute a signature:

• In the authorization object of the work instructions:

  Authorization for the activity Execute Digital Signature and any activity defined in the process instruction.

• In the authorization object of the digital signature:

  If you work with signature strategies, authorization for the authorization group of the relevant individual signature.

  You can enter a comment for the signature. In the case of signatures for disallowed input values, the comment is mandatory.
