What is asynchronous signature process in SAP PP-PI - Production Planning for Process Industries?

SAP Term: asynchronous signature process

• Component: PP-PI

• Component Name: Production Planning for Process Industries

• Description: Signature strategy according to which several people execute digital signatures in the PI sheet. In asynchronous signature processes, the signatories can execute their signatures independently from each other. A new function or transaction can be called after each individual signature. The signatures executed so far are stored. Until the signature process has been completed, the process step that belongs to the signature is locked so that it cannot be changed. If the signature process is canceled, the lock for the process step is released.
