Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)

Material type that is designed particularly to represent the manufacture of co-products. A process material is not a physical entity. It merely represents a production process.

When manufacturing co-products, you can use process materials as the header material in the BOM and master recipe. This is useful if production is not initiated by material requirements planning, for example, but by the availability of ingredients and capacities.

You can create process orders both for the process material and co-product. Values and quantities are updated at the co-product level.
