Recipe Type 

Definition

Classification of recipes according to their level of detail and their application (according to ISA, standard S88).

The following recipe types are available in the SAP standard system. They can be used as templates for your own recipe types:

·        General recipe (according to S88)

·        Site recipe (according to S88)

·        Master recipe (according to S88)

Use

Depending on the application and enterprise area, the type of information required ranges from a general description of the requirements to concrete procedural instructions for a specific production plant. When creating a recipe, you therefore assign every recipe to a recipe type defined in Customizing. In this way, you determine the recipe structure and attributes. You specify, for example:

·        Which objects may be linked to a recipe, for example, higher- or lower-level recipes, a formula or production version, an independent or recipe-dependent formula

·        Whether status management is active in a recipe and which status profile is used

·        Whether you can or must use change master records in recipe editing

·        Which tab pages (views) are active in a recipe
