[ Execution Steps (XSteps)
 A structure that you can use to describe the precise
execution of production processes. Using Xsteps, you can
control the data exchange with the process control level or
generate interactive work instructions/PI sheets for
process operators and production workers. An XStep can
be assigned to a master recipe, process order, standard
routing, production order or production Scheduling profile.
Real Experience. Real Advantage.

[ XSteps – Features
 XStep Structure
 XStep Parameter
 Valuation Symbol
 Scope of generation
 Control recipe Destination
 Production Schedule Profile
 XStep – Easy to Use Functionality

XSteps Approval with (or) without Digital Signature

[ Production Order Download
 Create Production Order
 Automatic Copy of XSteps based on Prod. Sched. Profile
 Release Production Order
 Automatic Generation of Control Instruction based on Prod. Sched.
Profile
 Automatic Control Instruction sent automatically by event-driven
batch job
 Control Recipe Download SAP Tables:
 COCH – Process Management: Control Recipe Header
 COFT - Process Management: Process Instr. in Ctrl Recipe
 COFV - Process Management: Process Instr. Charact. in Ctrl
 TLINES – Long text

[ Inbound
& Outbound Data Transfer:
 Outbound (Control recipe Download)
 SAP generates Control instruction and send the Data to middleware
 Middleware maps the XML Data from
‘CONTROL_RECIPE_DOWNLOAD’ FM download Tables
 Generates XML and pushes to MES System
 Inbound Process Messages
 MES System send the data in XML format to Middleware
 Middleware maps the XML Data to ‘PROCESS_MESSAGE_UPLOAD’
FM
 Trigger the FM and post the SAP Transaction

[ Learning Points
 XSteps & Its importance
 XML Mappings for Inbound and Outbound Interfaces
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
20
[ Business Benefits
 XSteps Maintenance – more User-friendly
 XSteps can be assigned to Production Order using Prod.
Sched. Profile (Specific to PP only)
 PP with Inbound/Outbound Data Transfer to MES – less
complex
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
21
[ Best Practice with XSteps
 If Client already using production Orders for Mfg Plant, it is
highly recommended to use XSteps
 To send Order Data to MES
 To receive Process Messages to post GI, GR and Confirmations.
Real Experience. Real Advantage.
