Recipe Development (PLM-WUI-RCP)
Recipe Development (PLM-WUI-RCP) contains the following functions:
Status Management
In status management, you define status profiles in Customizing that contain all available statuses and status transitions.
Note
This function is object-specific, so depending on the object type (specification, recipe, label set, and so on) you have to set different Customizing activities.
Web-based user interface with fast entry for specification management in Environment, Health and Safety (EH&S) (see Specification Management (EHS-BD-SPE))
In specification management you create specifications, for example, for the input and output substances used in the recipe.
Web-Based Recipe Development
Here you manage the recipes that comprise of all the information about the production process for a product, as well as the input and output substances and packaging used in that process. You can also edit formula data for multiple recipes simultaneously.
Web-Based Labeling
Here you create and manage label sets that you can use, for example, to create print templates for labels.
Creation of reports for recipes, label sets, and specifications using Windows Wordprocessor Integration (WWI)
Creation of building blocks as predefined, independent, and reusable objects that can act as templates for recipes, or parts of recipes, see Building Blocks
Compliance check for specifications and recipes
Mass changes for recipes and specifications
Grouping of objects into object sets, see Object Sets
Caution
If you have used non-Web-based Recipe Management (PLM-RM) up to now, you can no longer use the recipes managed there in Web-based Recipe Development (PLM-WUI-RCP), because the underlying databases are different.
To migrate the formulas and recipes from Recipe Management (PLM-RM) to Recipe Development (PLM-WUI-RCP), you can use the transaction/PLMI/RCP_MIGRATION
Recipe Development - Migrate Formula and Recipe
. For more information, see the documentation for report /PLMI/RCP_MIGRATION
and SAP Note 1511580

Recipe Development is integrated in the following applications:
Web User Interface of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM-WUI) (PLM Web UI)
This contains the following general functions that you can also use for Recipe Development:
Search (see Search)
Work center and control center (see Control Center and Work Center: Overview)
Authorization concept (see Authorizations and Access Control Context (PLM-WUI-APP-ACC))
Guided Structure Synchronization (see Guided Structure Synchronization (PLM-WUI-GSS))
The PLM Web UI contains Web-based interfaces for managing the following objects, which you also require for Recipe Development:
Material master (see Material Master (LO-MD-MM) and Material on the Web UI)
Material BOM (see BOMs (PP-BD-BOM) and Material BOM on the Web UI)
Documents (see Document Management and Document on the Web UI)
Change number, engineering record, and process route (see Engineering Change Management (LO-ECH) and Engineering Change Management on the Web User Interface (UI))
Classes and characteristics from classification (see Classification (CA-CL) and Classification on the Web UI)
Embedded search
The object navigator displays information about recipes, specifications, and labels as well as all linked objects, for example ones from Portfolio and Project Management.
You can also navigate to any linked object from here.
