Header Data Editing 

Purpose

This section describes how you edit data in the master recipe that is valid for the entire recipe. It contains both general entries for recipe editing as well as data for various specialist areas (for example, material data and QM data).

The following process steps are also taken into account in all the other processes for recipe editing that cover specific subject areas. Use this process if you want to edit all header data at once, irrespective of the subject area to which it belongs.

Prerequisites

The following data has been edited in the system:

Process Flow

  1. You edit the general header data of the master recipe. In doing so, you specify, for example:

    2. – The resource network and thus the production line at which you carry out the manufacturing process

    – The usage and status of the master recipe

    – The charge quantity range for which the master recipe is valid

    – The change procedure to be used for future changes (see Engineering Change Management and Recipe Approval)

  2. Depending on how you want to process your master recipe, you edit the following additional header data:

    3. – If the recipe is used for production, you assign the material you want to produce to the recipe.

    When manufacturing co-products, you choose this material as follows depending on how production is initiated:

    Production initiated by

    Material you assign to the recipe

    Demand of a specific co-product

    The required co-product

    Availability of input materials and capacities

    A process material

     

    In material requirements planning, planned orders can only be created automatically for the header material assigned here.

    – By creating production versions for the header material, you determine the alternative BOM and BOM usage to be used to manufacture a material with this recipe.
    You define a validity period and lot-size range for each production version.

    When manufacturing co-products, you can define an apportionment structure in the production version and thus plan how the production costs are distributed to the individual co-products.

    – In the QM data for the recipe header, you determine whether quality inspection during production is carried out with or without inspection points, whether dynamic modification takes place, and at which level.

    Depending on the decision you make, you also define parameters for inspection point processing and/or dynamic modification.

    – You enter a long text with explanations and notes on the master recipe.

    – If you want to use your own classification characteristics to select master recipes in recipe selection, you classify the recipe header.

  3. You save the master recipe.
