Multiple SFC execution in Workcenter POD

[syed_abdul_rahaman2]

Hi Team,

There is requirement from client, asking for execution of multiple SFC's having different order numbers but the way of execution and process parameters are same. So i have designed a POD, where the worklist and operation activity list are showing in same screen with some action buttons.

But while selecting the multiple SFC's it says "The selected SFCs don’t use the same routing. Select SFCs that use the same routing."

How it can be achieved? User don't wants to go into each SFC and do start and complete, he just want everything in one screen by selecting multiple SFC's.

Attaching screenshot of designed POD for reference.

Hi,
from standard point of view i don't think what you are asking it is possible.
Because order1 could have op1 op2 op3, order2 could have op3 op4 op5 and that's why there is this kind of misunderstanding from Operation Activity plugin (they could not merge all operations for multiple orders, could be a mess from std point of view!).

Do you need to see all the operations? Or could you create a custom buttom that for given input orders and given input workcenter could start&complete all the operations that belong to that workcenter for the given order and then process next orders, right?

To do that the way that i would you suggest is to create a "workcenter pod" from POD Designer and then you should use the same worklist plugin that you are currently using but you have to create a custom plugin for create custom button. By clicking on that custom button you can get the reference on the worklist and get all the selected orders. With the selected orders you can call a production process (made inside SAP DM) that are getting operations list for that workcenter and looping to do start/complete for each operations.

If you don't have experience on developing custom plugin from SAP BTP side (it's not so complex) and you can follow this reference: https://community.sap.com/t5/supply-chain-management-blog-posts-by-sap/standard-pod-plugin-extension...
just import the git repository and then you have to create a dm-pod-plugin in order to create custom button that are calling production process as API.

If you don't know how to call a production process as API let me know.

Hi marcobarat,

Thanks for the quick reply, appreciate it.

I understand the concept what you are suggesting. Will try to do the suggested the steps with my technical team as i'm not much aware about this API's and extensions. 

Found a alternative solution with the help of operation activity POD with some adjustment in routing data.
