Editing Production Versions in the Recipe

Use

You use this procedure to edit production versions for the header materials of the master recipe in the master recipe itself . You can:

  • Create only one production version for each material-recipe combination in a validity period

  • Change, lock, delete, or check the consistency of all existing production versions for a recipe

You can also use this function to:

  • Create several production versions for a material-recipe combination

  • Create production versions for co-products that are not used as the header material of the recipe but as BOM items

In the standard system, however, you cannot edit production versions for recipes whose change rule specifies that an approval procedure must be followed in the material master record.

Prerequisites

The material whose production version you want to edit has been assigned to the master recipe as the header material (see Material Assignments to Recipes ).

Procedure

  1. Choose Material assignments in the recipe header.

  2. Double-click the material assignment for which you want to edit a production version.

Depending on whether production versions already exist for the assignment, the system takes you:

  • Directly to the screen for production version editing

  • To a selection screen that lists all existing production versions

  1. On the selection screen, choose the production version you want to edit.

  2. Depending on the function you want to carry out, proceed as follows:
