Custom Fields on Routing Steps in Order Download

[daried]

Dear SAP Community,

with SAP DM 2402 release the order download shall supports custom data fields on routing steps.

On What's New for SAP Digital Manufacturing | SAP Help Portal however, the more information link Specifying Custom Values on Routing Step for an Order-Specific Routing currently redirects to an empty page.

Could anyone please share a working code sample for this as such example is also not yet available in the standard XSLT transaction of LOIPRO05 workflow?

Hi daried,

the help topic will be published at RTC on 24 February until then some links (those pointing to new topics for 2402) in the What's New won't work. Working links point to the user assistance for the previous release (2311). 

To answer your question, you need to select the Production Order LOIPRO05 V2 in the Manage Integration Workflows app. 

You then copy the contents of the  Standard XSLT to the Custom XSLT.

You then uncomment this code snippet:

 <!-- Sample for custom field on routing step level -->
			<!--
			<CustomFieldList>
				<CustomField>
					<Attribute>XYZ</Attribute>
					<Value>value_1</Value>
				</CustomField>
				<CustomField>
					<Attribute>ABC</Attribute>
					<Value>value_1</Value>
				</CustomField>
			</CustomFieldList>
                -->

You'll find it between <ManufacturingOrderActivityNetworkElement>... ManufacturingOrderActivityNetworkElement>.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Mike

Yes, exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you for the detailed description.

Hi Mike, why do the custom field extensions behave differently depending on which object you want to extend?

With order level & bom header level it is not necessary to define the fields in the “Manage Custom Data” beforehand. They are generated automatically during import if required. (This makes sense because, for example, the VC configuration can be extended independently of the DM and I don't want to rework every single field in the DM).

This does not happen here at routing step level. Each field must be created explicitly first.

Best regards
