Step 18: Create the Output Parameters under the Control Data table.

All the output fields should be mapped to some parameter.

Step 20: Release the XStep for testing.

Testing the Xstep:

Step 1: Go to Process order creation screen from transaction COR1. Enter material, plant and order type and click enter. (Note: Valid BOM & Master Recipe with Xstep profile should be there). Click the Xstep button.

(Note: As this is simple test scenario, XStep assigned to Process order directly instead of Master Recipe)
