Use

You can specify process parameters (for example, temperature, time, energy, and pressure) for the following objects in Recipe Management:

  • Recipe
  • Equipment requirement
  • Process
  • Stage
  • Operation
  • Action
  • Trial

Each process parameter corresponds to a value assignment type in the system that has a class assigned to it from the classification system. You can enter values for the process parameter in the characteristics of the class. You can specify process parameter profiles for each of the objects in Recipe Management named above. The process parameter profiles contain different process parameters, that is, different value assignment types. You can choose the value assignment types of the profile in the process parameter tab page in the respective object and enter data.

This IMG activity describes how you define the necessary process parameters, that is, the value assignment types, classes, and characteristics, and how you assign the value assignment types to the process parameter profiles. You then assign the profiles to the individual objects in the IMG activities in which you make the settings for the objects.

Standard settings

The following is supplied with the standard system:

  • Examples of classes and characteristics
  • Value assignment types for the supplied classes. The value assignment types supplied have the same keys as the corresponding classes.
  • The DEFAULT profile with the value assignment types supplied. This profile is assigned to all the objects named above in Recipe Management, in Customizing for Recipes.
  • The RECIP_PROC property tree to which the value assignment types supplied with the system are assigned.

Activities

  1. Check which process parameters you require and whether these are supplied with the standard system.
  2. If you require any more process parameters in addition to those supplied with the system, create the necessary classes and characteristics in the classification system. Note the following here:
    • Create classes of class type 100 only.
    • Assign each class at least one characteristic for the description of the process parameter. At a later stage, you must assign a phrase set to this characteristic (see Specify Process Parameter Descriptions). This means, at least one characteristic of each class must have the data type Character with 30 characters.
    • Assign a value check to the characteristic. The function module C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK is available in the standard system for this purpose.
    • Each process parameter item corresponds to a row in the table on the process parameter tab page. Each characteristic corresponds to a column in this table. The description for the characteristic is used as the column heading.
    • If the following prerequisites are fulfilled, the system arranges the characteristics of different classes, that is, of different process parameters in the same columns in this table:
      • - The language-dependent characteristic description is the same.
      - The sequence of the characteristic descriptions within the class used is the same.
      So that the table contains only the necessary columns and does not become too complex, you should give characteristics with an identical meaning (for example, the characteristics for the value, unit of measure, accuracy of a process parameter, and so on) the same name and arrange them at identical positions at the first positions of the class.
    • The system identifies the following characteristics based on the character strings in the key of the characteristic. This has effects on the column display (see next steps):

Meaning    Character String

Minimum and maximum value    __MINMAX__

Target value    __TARGET__

Unit    __UOM__

Note that each of these strings can only appear once in the characteristics of a class.
  • The units of measurement for the characteristics __MINMAX__ and __TARGET__ are available automatically as values in the corresponding field in the column for the __UOM__ characteristic.
  • Note the following when you define the __MINMAX__ characteristic:
    • - The characteristic must permit interval values. The system then automatically creates separate columns for the lower limit and the upper limit of the interval.
    - The characteristic description must contain the string __. The system then creates the column headings automatically from the characteristic description: It uses the description before the string as the heading for the column for the lower limit of the interval and the description after the string as the heading for the column for the upper limit of the interval.
    Example:
    With the characteristic description Min__Max, the column for the lower interval limit is given the heading Min and the column for the upper interval limit is given the heading Max.

    For more information on defining characteristics and assigning phrase sets to characteristics, see Specify Process Parameter Descriptions and the documentation for the SAP Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) component.

  1. Define a value assignment type for each new process parameter in Customizing for EH&S under Specify Value Assignment Types and assign the value assignment type the class that you created for the process parameter.
  2. Assign the new value assignment types to a property tree, for example, the property tree RECIP_PROC supplied with the standard system, in Customizing for EH&S under Set Up Property Trees. You have to make this assignment so that you can assign phrase sets to the characteristics of the value assignment types (see Specify Process Parameter Descriptions).
  3. Check whether the user-defined text type RM exists in Customizing for EH&S under Specify User-Defined Text Types and create it if necessary. You need this user-defined text type to enter comments for the process parameters.
  4. Check whether you require different process parameters and also different process parameter profiles for the objects in Recipe Management named above.
  5. Define the required process parameter profiles in this IMG activity if required.
  6. Assign the value assignment types you need to the process parameter profiles and specify a sort sequence for each profile.
  7. If you have defined a new profile for an object, you assign the profile to the object type in the following IMG activity:
