X-Steps for Discrete

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have scenario of X-Steps for discrete manufacturing. Below is the scenario.

I am working on a IS-Mill project and the process is discrete manufacturing with variant configuration. The customer is having their legacy systems in which they are printing Work instructions for each operation. I have heard that x-steps for discrete has also the same functionality (to have work instructions). But i don't know the way to configure it. Can u please help me to configure the same. It will be more helpful if the explanation is given in steps.

Also, is it require to have some knowledge about PP-PI or X-Steps for PI to configure X-Steps for discrete industries.

As i never worked on PP-PI or X-Steps for process industry also. Please tell me what are the prerequisites to configure the same.

Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,

SLT

I have checked that business functions with my basis consultant and it is already activated. I have cheked the release notes also. It is helpful but as i mentioned that i m a beginner in X-steps or PI Sheets.

Can you please tell me that how can i do it in system. Whether is there any customizing involved.

It would be highly appreciable if u provide some steps to configure the X-Steps for Discreet industries.

Thanks Once again,

Dear SLT,

I'm also trying to explore more on this for my present project.

After activating those business fucntions,certain configuration are to be made at SPRO level,which will come as a separate node

under Production->Basic Data->Execution steps(Next to Work Center).

Definition: execution step

Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)

Structure, which you can use to describe the precise execution of the production process.

Using XSteps, you can control the data exchange between the automated level and the process control level or generate

interactive PI sheets for process operators and employees in the production. XSteps can be assigned to a master recipe or

process order.
