Process 

Definition

A sequence of chemical, physical, or biological activities for converting, storing, or transporting material or energy (see process as per ISA standard S88).

Use

A recipe can contain a maximum of one process. To create a process, you have the following options:

●     You create the process as a dependent object in the recipe.

●     You create the process as an independent building block. You can then use this building block as a copy template and create a recipe with the data for the process building block. It is not possible to copy the entire process with all process elements to an existing recipe.

Structure

The process is the top element in the process model. It contains all the process elements (stages, operations, and actions) that are required to produce one or more products. You can also create the process from a pool of existing process element building blocks. Here you can also copy process element building blocks to a recipe.

You can link a process to a formula. When you create a process building block, you use the selected process type to decide whether the process should contain an independent formula or a dependent formula. At the same time, you also use the process type to decide whether the process stages of the process should contain independent formulas or dependent formulas.
