• Key Concepts: 
  XStep context is a feature of the Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI) component of SAP. It is a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows users to quickly and easily create and manage production orders. It also provides an overview of the production process, allowing users to monitor and control the progress of their orders. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use XStep context, users must first create a production order in the PP-PI component. Once the order is created, users can access XStep context by selecting the “XStep” option from the menu bar. This will open up a graphical representation of the production process, which can be used to monitor and control the progress of the order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using XStep context, it is important to remember that it is only a graphical representation of the production process. It does not provide any actual control over the process itself. Therefore, users should always refer to the actual production order for detailed information about the progress of their order.
