●     You have created the required classes in Classification.

Procedure

Creating New Recipe Building Blocks

...

       1.      Choose  Process Element or  Equipment Requirement in the recipe workbench by double-clicking.

If you are already in the screen for editing building blocks, you can also create new building blocks there of the same category.

       2.      Choose  with the quick info textCreate.

       3.      Enter the required data and confirm your entries.

The  Basic Data tab page appears.

       4.      Enter a description for the building block and other data if required.

       5.      Save your entries.

You have created the building block. You can choose other tab pages to enter more data if you wish.

You can use the same functions for editing recipes to edit recipe building blocks. For more information, see the documentation of the functions and procedures used in recipe editing.

Creating Process Building Blocks or Process Element Building Blocks with Data from Existing Recipes

You can also create a process building block or a process element building block using the data from the corresponding dependent object in a recipe. The system then creates a new building block and copies the relevant data from the recipe object to it. To do this, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Load the recipe with whose data you want to create a process building block or process element building block and transfer the recipe to the navigation area.

       2.      In the navigation area, transfer the required process element (such as a stage) from the recipe to the corresponding process element node (such as  Stage) under  Process Element using drag and drop. To create a process building block, you must either transfer the recipe itself to the  Process node using drag and drop or choose Create Process with Data for Recipe in the context menu for the recipe.

The Create Building Block dialog box (for processes) or the Copy Dependent Object to Building Block dialog box appears (for stages, operations, and actions).

       3.      Enter the required data and confirm your entries.

The system creates the process building block or process element building block and opens the Basic Data tab page in the building block.

       4.      Enter the required data and save your entries.

The system has created a new process building block or process element building block and copied the data from the process or process element in the recipe to it.

You can create a building block for a stage, operation, or action in the same way by transferring with drag and drop the relevant process element from a recipe that you opened in the application area. You transfer the process element from the respective row on the  Process tab page in the recipe.
