The document outlines the process management functionalities in SAP PP, including the creation and management of control recipes, process instructions, and process messages. It describes the workflow of transferring information between process orders and control systems, alongside tools like the control recipe monitor and message monitor for tracking and managing process data. Key components include defining process instructions, grouping them into control recipes, and overseeing the status of both recipes and messages to ensure smooth process operations.

3. Overview - Process Management
 Process Management serves as the interface between PP-PI and
the systems involved in process control.
 Receiving control recipes with process instructions from released
process orders.
 Transferring control recipes to the relevant process operators or
process control systems.
 Manual maintenance: Converting control recipes into PI sheets in
natural language, which can be read and maintained online by the
process operator.
 Receiving, checking and sending process messages with actual
process data from the process control system or the PI sheet.

4. Process Management Flow

5. Process Instructions
 You use process instructions to specify which information to be
transferred to process control and which information to be reported
from process control.
 You allocate process instructions to the phases of the master recipe and
the process order.The system bundles these into control recipes and
transfers them to process control.
 When you create a process order from a master recipe, the process
instructions are copied into the process order from the master recipe.
 By assigning characteristics and characteristic values, you specify:
 The information in a process instruction that is to be transferred or requested, for
example, the order number, a control instruction or the status of a control recipe
 How the requested data to be processed (for example, a specific value is to be
confirmed by process control) and which message category to be used for this
purpose

7. Creation of Control recipes

8. Creation and Sending Control Recipes
 Information that is relevant to process control is stored in the
process order in the form of process instructions that are assigned
to the phases of the process order.
 Process Management groups the process instructions together in
control recipes and transfers these to the control recipe
destination defined in the process order.

9. Control Recipe Monitor

10. Control Recipe Monitor
 The control recipe monitor provides information on the current
processing status of a control recipe.
 From the monitor, you can call different logs that provide more
detailed information on the individual process steps and any errors
that may have occurred.
 On the basis of this information, you can execute the following
functions from the monitor:
 Send control recipes if they are not automatically sent in a background job
defined in Customizing
 Delete control recipes

11. PI Sheet

12. Process Messages
 Process messages are data structures used to report actual process data from
process control to one or more destinations.
 Users can define their own process messages in customizing to meet their specific
needs.
 The standard SAP System contains a number of predefined process message
categories that enable you to transfer actual data from process control to the R/3
System.
 First, the process messages are sent to Process Management.They are then checked
and passed on to predefined destinations.
 The message monitor provides information on the current status of process
messages.
 From the monitor, you can call logs that provide more detailed information on the
processing of individual messages and any errors that may have occurred.
 On the basis of this information, you can execute the following functions from the
monitor:
 Complete or correct incomplete or incorrect messages
 Send messages if they are not automatically sent by a background job defined in customizing
 Delete messages
