Creating Master Recipes by Copying

Use

You can use this procedure to reduce the effort required to create a master recipe by copying the data of an existing master recipe, routing, or inspection plan.

If no suitable template to copy from exists in your system, use procedure Creating Master Recipes instead.

Prerequisites

The following data has been created in the system:

  • The template you want to copy (master recipe, routing, or inspection plan)

  • The change master record for master recipes requiring a history

  • A released engineering change order for recipes requiring approval

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

Caution Caution

The master recipe does not support the parameter effectivity of engineering change management (see Engineering Change Management and Recipe Approval ). For this reason, only use change master records or engineering change orders with date validity when:

End of the caution.

  • Editing master recipes

  • Editing task lists that you want to use as templates for master recipes

Procedure

  1. In the SAP menu, choose Start of the navigation path Logistics Next navigation step Production - Process Next navigation step Master Data Next navigation step Master Recipe End of the navigation path s, Start of the navigation path Recipe and Material List Next navigation step Create. End of the navigation path

  2. Enter the data of the new recipe and choose .

  3. Select the task list type of the template you want to copy and choose .

  4. Enter the data according to which you want the system to select the template and choose .

  5. A dialog box appears that contains all recipes/task lists matching the selection criteria.

  6. Double-click the template you want to use.

  7. Except for production versions, material quantity calculations, and relationships to other recipes, all the template data is copied to the new recipe.

  8. Add or, if necessary, change the header data copied from the template and choose .

The system checks whether the recipe data is consistent (see Creating by Copying ). If inconsistencies are found, the system reacts as follows depending on how serious the error is:

  • It terminates copying (for example, if a control recipe destination does not exist in the plant of the new recipe).

  • It prompts you to correct the data (for example, if the planner group does not exist in the plant of the new recipe).

After the consistency check, the system takes you back to the recipe header.

  1. Choose Operations and change the copied operations and phases or add new ones if necessary.

  2. Editing Operations/Phases on the Operation Overview

  3. Save the master recipe.
