Features

Handover to Manufacturing

With this function, you can synchronize a general (PLM) recipe to a PP-PI master recipe. For more information, see Synchronizing a Recipe with a Master Recipe.

Download Data

With this function, you can download the data of one or several objects (recipes or specifications). For more information, see Download Data.

Building Blocks

With this function, you can create process, stage, operation, action, and equipment requirement building blocks that can later be used in recipes. For more information, see Building Blocks.

Object Sets

With this function, you can group any type of objects (recipes, specifications, building blocks, and so on.) and access them easily. For more information, see Object Sets.

Application Log

All the messages during a user session are collected and can be reviewed.

Functional Enhancements for Recipes

With this business function, you can use the following new functions for recipes:

  • New nutrient loss calculation (see Process Loss and Storage Loss)

    This new calculation uses item-level loss calculation. For understanding the difference between the two nutrient loss calculations, see SAP Note 1829406Information published on SAP site.

  • Recipe import

    Recipes can now be imported fully or partially into another recipe on the Process tab.

  • Recipe archiving (see Recipe Archiving)

    This is a function to archive obsolete recipes and remove them from the database.

  • Long text for process parameters

  • Parameters for equipment requirements (in recipe and in building block)

  • Drag and drop rearrangement of process elements

    Process elements are renumbered automatically.

  • Object set integration

    The new object set functionality is integrated into the Formula tab so objects can be easily added to the formula.

  • Manual price calculation (see the Costs chapter in Calculations)

    On the Formula tab, you can manually enter the price for input items and calculate an estimate without saving the data into the database.

  • Manual composition adjustment for reactions (see Manual Composition)

    If a stage output or the primary output has an appropriate component type, then on the Composition tab of that output's detailed view you can manually adjust the composition. This means that you can add new components or modify the amount of existing ones, depending on the recipe type and the component type.

  • New calculation modes (see Calculation Modes)

    • Total solids calculation

      If you choose this calculation mode to formulate the recipe, you can calculate the total solids mass from bottom to top in the whole recipe.

    • Evaporation and absorption calculation

      It can happen that water or a different substance in a formula is evaporated or absorbed, and thus the quantity of the inputs does not exactly match the quantity of the outputs. This is represented with the balancing item: it shows in percent how much substance is evaporated (negative value) or absorbed (positive value). With the Evaporation/Absorption with Total Solids or Evaporation/Absorption calculation modes, you can calculate this balancing item with or without total solids.

  • Support for property specification in calculations

    If the primary output of an explosion recipe has the appropriate component type set in Customizing, then the calculation values are taken from its property specification instead of its primary output specification during explosion. This can be set for a component type in Customizing activity Start of the navigation path Logistics — General Next navigation step Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Next navigation step PLM Web User Interface Next navigation step Recipe Development Next navigation step Recipe Next navigation step Calculations Next navigation step Define Explosion Scopes and Assign Component Types End of the navigation path.

  • Single-field recipe input

    Allows easier recipe access with one input field for recipe keys (depends on Customizing settings).

  • Easy stage creation

  • Change document handling for recipes

  • Document attachment after release, translation after release (both depend on Customizing settings)

Functional Enhancements for Specifications

With this business function, you can use the following new functions for specifications:

  • Mass change for specifications

    With this new function, you can change the header data, the identifier, the status, or the material assignment for several recipes within a simple view.

  • Handling of obsolete phrases

    The system warns you when you try to use phrases with Obsolete status

  • Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) upload (see Uploading MSDS Documents)

    This function is available with an integrated virus scan.

  • Status and action management for specifications, see Header Status for Specifications

    You can now set the header status for specifications.

    Note Note

    This functionality uses Status and Action Management 2.0, which means that it is not the same status handling for recipes or labeling.

    End of the note.

    There is also a mass status change report, which is a useful tool to set initial status for existing specifications, but it can also be used for other status changes.

    See the Customizing activities under Start of the navigation path Logistics — General Next navigation step Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Next navigation step PLM Web User Interface Next navigation step Recipe Development Next navigation step Specification Management Next navigation step Specification Next navigation step Specification Master Next navigation step Status Management for Header Status End of the navigation path.

  • Information button for properties

    When selecting a property on the Properties tab, there is a new button that informs the user about the property.

  • Search in property tree

    You can now perform search through properties.

  • Long text support for multivalue dialog

    When selecting properties with multiple value possibility, the long texts can be displayed or hidden.

  • Process route integration (see section Process Route in Specification Management)

Functional Enhancements for Labeling

With this business function, you can use the following new functions for labeling:

  • The new loss calculation (see the Functional Enhancements for Recipes chapter) can be taken into account in labeling (depends on Customizing settings)

  • WWI support

  • Document assignment at label set header

  • Authorization management for labeling

Compliance Check Enhancements

With this business function, you can now decide to use compliance check without EH&S Expert server. This functionality means that you do not need an external server for the compliance check, instead it takes place on the same system where the Recipe Development application runs. For more information, see Compliance Check in Recipe Development.

The operating mode can be set in Customizing activity Start of the navigation path Logistics — General Next navigation step Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Next navigation step PLM Web User Interface Next navigation step Recipe Development Next navigation step Compliance Check Next navigation step Compliance Check Operating Mode Selection End of the navigation path.

Note Note

The functionality of the compliance check without EH&S Expert server is not equivalent to the functionality of the compliance check with EH&S Expert server.
