Browser-Based PI Sheet

Definition
As of Release 4.6C, you can also create PI sheets in HTML layout. The browser-based PI sheet
is an enhanced version of the ABAP list-based PI sheet. It offers a new user interface that is
intuitive and easy-to-operate.

To be able to best use the browser-based PI sheet, you must install Microsoft Internet Explorer
5.0 and make some security settings in the Internet Explorer. For more information, see Setting
Up the Browser for PI Sheets and Cockpits.

The PI sheet represents the result of a control recipe that was sent to a process operator and
whose content is displayed as text on the screen. This means the PI sheet is an instruction for the
process operator that describes how and in which order a product is manufactured. The PI sheet
can, for example, contain information about the picking of raw materials as well as instructions
about charging the mixer, filling silos, and so on.

The R/3 PI sheet is designed for processing on the screen, which means that the process
operator should enter, confirm, report, or complete data interactively. In this way, the PI sheet
enables communication between the R/3 System (PP-PI) and process operators in production
lines that are operated manually (either fully or partially).
