PP-PI - Process message processing and batch management in PI_CONS message

376 Views

Hi All,

Hope you can help me to find the better solution... I will try to explain my scenario

Scenario: to control the production run PP-PI module is in use. Process order are created in SAP system and then transferred to the process control system where the execution of the process order is controlled On-line. Once per month the confirmations are transferred from this control system to SAP. In the Process control system batch are not managed. For good issue posting standard process message PI_CONS is used.

Now we have the situation that some raw materials used for process order processing are managed with batch. During the process order creation the batch related with this raw materials can be determined, only during the month when the raw material is entered in the plant is where the batch is determined. At the end of the month the batch of this materials is available in the SAP system (not in the process control system). Due to behavior of PI_CONS regarding batch if this characteristic is not informed in the process message or in the reservation an issue is trigger.My doubts are:

1.- If I need inform the batch during this confirmation ,an even split the quantities in the process message according the batch availability, I'm force to use a custom process message or there is other workaround? (remember is not feasible send the batch to the process control system)

2.- probably i miss something because I'm can't debug the execution of the process message. How can I debug the execution of a manually created process message?

Sorry for the long explanation I try to explain my scenario as better as possible.

Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.
