First Steps in Master Recipe Editing

Purpose

Editing a master recipe is a complex task in which process data for various specialist areas is planned. Sometimes, this also involves different departments. The process comprises, for example, the use of materials and resources, the planning of dates and quality inspections, as well as providing information for process control.

This section aims to introduce you to master recipe editing. It describes the process you must follow to create or change the basic structure of a master recipe. Having carried out these steps, you can complete the data for the various specialist areas.

Prerequisites

The following data has been created in the system:

  • The change master record for master recipes requiring a history

  • A released engineering change order for recipes requiring approval

Caution Caution

The master recipe does not support change master records or engineering change orders with parameter effectivity.

End of the caution.

  • For recipes that you want to assign to a revision level, the corresponding revision level for the material to be produced

  • The master records of the resources, and the resource network of the line used for production

Process Flow

  1. Depending on the activity you want to carry out, you choose one of the following functions:

  • Create master recipe

  • Create master recipe by copying

  • Change master recipe

  1. You enter the initial data for the new recipe or the recipe selection. This includes:

  • The recipe group whose recipes you want to edit and, if required, the recipe number

  • If required, the product for which you want to edit recipes together with the corresponding production version

  • The validity period for which you want to edit the recipe

Depending on the change procedure required, you proceed as follows (see Engineering Change Management and Recipe Approval ):

Change Procedure

You Edit the Recipe

Without history

On the key date

With history

With a change master record (change number)

With history for revision level

For the relevant revision level of the material to be produced

With approval

With an engineering change order (change number)

  1. You enter the general header data of the master recipe. You specify, for instance:

  • The planner responsible for recipe editing

  • The change procedure to be used for future changes

  • The recipe status (for example, Created )

  1. You visually reproduce the individual process steps in your master recipe as follows:

  • You create an operation for each self-contained process step that is entirely carried out at one resource

  • You create phases below the operations for steps that are relevant to planning and control.

When editing operations and phases, you specify, for example:

  • For operations, the primary resource at which the operation and its phases are carried out

  • The control key that determines the business relevance of operations and phases

  • The control recipe destination for phases, that is, the process control system or process operator responsible for carrying them out

  1. You save the master recipe.
