Definition

Use

You use this indicator to determine the sequence in which material-related process instructions are generated in the process order:

  • If you do not set the indicator, the system sorts the process instructions by the process instruction category.
  • If you set the indicator, the system sorts the process instructions by material.

The indicator is valid for all process instruction categories for which one of the following scopes of generation has been set in the control recipe destination (see Process instructions to be generated view):

  • 01 (For all reservations)
  • 02 (For all order items)
  • 03 (For all reservations and order items)

Procedure

Examples

For a specific control recipe destination, you want the system to generate process instructions of category AMAT_1 (information on material) and CONS_1 (consumption message for material) for all reservations.

If you do not set the indicator, the process instructions are inserted as follows:

Process instr. cat.     Description

AMAT_1     Information on material 1

AMAT_1     Information on material 2

CONS_1     Consumption message for material 1

CONS_1     Consumption message for material 2

If you set the indicator, the process instructions are inserted in the following order:

Process instr. cat.     Description

AMAT_1     Information on material 1

CONS_1     Consumption message for material 1

AMAT_1     Information on material 2

CONS_1     Consumption message for material 2
