Step 10:
In the “Parameter” tab insert the parameters. In this example following parameters will be used:
Parameter Name | Description | Category | Characteristics |
LV_ORDER | Process Order | Local | PPPI_PROCESS_ORDER |
LV_MATERIA | Material | Local | PPPI_MATERIAL |
LV_BATCH | Batch | Local | PPPI_BATCH |
LV_QTY | Order Qty. | Local | PPPI_ORDER_QUANTITY |
LV_UOM | UOM | Local | PPPI_UNIT_OF_MEASURE |
Step 11:
In the Valuation tab, enter the valuation details.
Step 12: In the Generation tab select the generation – in this example “For the Primary Product” has been selected.
Step 13: In the Destination tab select a destination of type PI Sheet.
Step 14: Again select the Xstep and create the Process Instruction from the context menu. Process Instruction will get created.
Step 15: Change the Description of the Process Instruction.
Step 16: Create a Control Data Table under the Process Instruction
Step 17: Enter the Description and Data Request Type
Step 18: Create the Output Parameters under the Control Data table.
All the output fields should be mapped to some parameter.
Step 19: Once done, check the Xstep for any error.
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)
Step 2: Create XStep Tree by clicking the Create button.
Step 3: Select the Xstep Tree and from the context menu create the SXS Reference.
Step 4: Select the <New Xstep Reference>, open the properties and from the Reference tab select the XStep created before.
Step 5: Explode the Xstep reference.

Step 7: Go to control recipe monitor (TCode CO53XT) – search the control recipe for the process order - send the control recipe to destination.
Status should change to Send.
Step 8: Find the PI sheet from transaction CO60 for the Process order
The PI sheet will display the details of the Process order as created in the Xstep.
