SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CPOC2 - PP-PI-PMA: PI Sheet Messages, SCM Add-On

• Message number: 111

• Message text: Cannot assign event &1.&2 to a process step

What causes this issue?

In the process instruction, a condition is defined that is used to
automatically execute an action (for example, <LS>Deactivate process
instruction</>) in the <DS:GLOS.3526C51EAFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>PI
sheet</> or <DS:GLOS.389B9DAA500F0E7CE10000009B38F931>manufacturing
cockpit</>.
The condition was defined in the form of an event (PPPI_EVENT). An
action was assigned to characteristic PPPI_EVENT, which refers to a
<DS:GLOS.50BEB46A3AABFC42856FF26F393DA411>process step</>. However,
this value is not allowed. This may be due to the following reasons:
No process step was defined in the PI sheet, this means there is no
segment in the PI sheet between two signatures.
Two signatures are defined in the PI sheet but the last signature is
<DS:GLOS.8984926F20E33247B18EDCB0E6B99E38>asynchronous</>, which means
that it automatically completes the PI sheet. This segment is not
considered as a process step.
