• Key Concepts: 
  Extensible Style Language (XSL) is a programming language used to transform XML documents into other formats, such as HTML, PDF, or plain text. It is used in SAP's Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component to create and modify documents and reports. XSL is a powerful language that allows users to create complex documents with minimal effort. 
  
  How to use it: 
  XSL can be used in PP-PI to create and modify documents and reports. To do this, users must first create an XSL template, which is a set of instructions that define how the document should be formatted. Once the template is created, users can then use the XSL language to transform the XML document into the desired format. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an XSL template, it is important to keep in mind that the template should be as simple as possible. This will make it easier to maintain and modify the template in the future. Additionally, it is important to test the template before using it in production, as errors can cause unexpected results.
