Is there a need for a sub-forum focussing on PI Sheets, XSteps, etc.?

[Arne_Manthey]

Hi,

during the last XStep-Café session the question was brought up why there is no separate forum for topics like:

- PI Sheet

- Work In struction Sheet

- XSteps

What do you think? Would you prefer that these topics are discussed in SCM-PP or should there be such a new forum section? How should it be named?

i am also agrred on having seperate forum for PPPI

Hi All,

PP-PI is a part of PP. And is a small part of PP so in my opinion is is not necessary to have a separate section for PI. Also there are a lots of common queries which is for PP, PP-PI & REM so it will only lead to duplication of the data.

But yeah Arne is doing a great job by making a new separate website for PP-PI.

Being part of PP ( PP-PI) module there is no need to have separate forum for PI

Hi,

thank you for your many positve replies. It seems that the creation of a new sub-topic is hard te get approved by the SDN responsibles. However I have created an own blog on this topic with a lot of useful information. There is no real forum functionality yet but I might add that in the future:

Yes, i do agree on this.The PI Sheet functionality and XStep is being widely used by many clients.This is the time where we need to serve the customer in time.The new forum will help us to gain more knowledge and experience, and basically help consultants to drive towards customer needs.

I concur that there is a need for such a subforum (and meanwhile I would like to draw attention to my own question here: which ended up on page 4 after less than one day)

Hi,

yes, definitely a separate forum is needed to discuss extensively on this topics.

Hi,

It is very much needed.

Why dont we start a new forum instead of discussing on the same for such a long time!

Hello,

Yes definately there is a need for separate forunm for queries related to PI as these do not get better response in PP forum,

Arne,

Definetely we need a seperate forum. to adress issues faced in PI, especially in PI sheets, X-Steps etc.

This will be a very good initiative.

Now that many people have requested to have a separate forum, let's create a new forum focussing on PP-PI in general to discuss and share all subjects related to PP-PI master data, control recipes, PI sheets, process message, XSteps and Interfaces.

Please let me know if you have one already otherwise I will create one this week.

Maybe one addition to that:

Since the Electronic Work Instructions offer the same functionality for PP (as of ECC 6.03 EhP3) as was offered for PP-PI by the PI-Sheets the focus should not be limited to PP-PI alone.

Hi Senthil,

Yes please, so there will be a forum for PP-PI, Xsteps and other related questions / topics in one forum.

Hi,

I also prescribe to the fact that having a seperate forum for PI, as this would certainly bring more focus on particular issues in PI (XSteps and PI heet inparticular)

Hello.

Can anyone please give me a very brief introduction to whats Xsteps are used for?? I am implementing PI sheets in my company and it would come in handy to know something new.

Thank you.

Hi Arne,

Iam also having the same openion since the response I got for the queries posted in PP forum related to X steps and PI sheets is really disappointing.

Appreciate if a nw forum is there to exclusivly manage this.

Thanks & Regards

[Arne_Manthey]

For further updates...

Hello Arne,

The number of queries on PI sheet and related areas are very less. Even if we post one, chances of getting noticed/exposed to the related community is very slim because of the volume of calls in PP.

In my opinion we need to channel them out from the main stream PP to get enough attention and focus.

Hope we get there!!.

Thanks

Hi

I do agree with the team as I was disappointed many times.

Better if we get PP-PI a seperate forum.

[Former Member]

Hello,

I agree that the response to postings of PI Sheet or other specific PI functionalitiies are rather poor; but... I don't know if having a separate forum would help us, as the root cause seems to be the lack of expertise/knowledge/experience about these topics.

However, it would add some visibility to these posting so perhaps it worths a try !
