Production Version Assignment

Use

Only the recipe header has been implemented for plant-specific recipes in Recipe Management. This means that the master recipe as well as all your own copies of this recipe type are not integrated in the standard processes of SAP Production Planning. You use this function to assign your recipes a production version that can be used for production and, in turn, refers to the master recipe and bill of material (BOM) in the standard system.

Caution Caution

The production version assigned to a recipe is not only valid for the change status selected but for all change statuses of a recipe.

End of the caution.

Note Note

You can create a master recipe straight from a general or site recipe. For more information, see Transformation .

End of the note.

Prerequisites

If you use distributed systems in your enterprise, the recipe and production version may be stored in different systems. In this case, you need a function that determines the system of a production version according to your specific ALE distribution model. For more information, see Customizing for Recipe Management under Set Up Link to Distributed Production Versions .

Features

You can assign only one production version to a recipe. You can then display the production version along with its master recipe in the standard system from within Recipe Management.

If you display or assign a production version that is stored in a different system, Recipe Management uses a remote function call (RFC) to access that system. The logical address (RFC destination) of the target system is determined using the function that you specified in Customizing (see “Prerequisites”).

Activities
