This section does not deal with the special features that apply to the manufacture of co-products. For information on co-products, see Material Data Editing for Co-Products.

1. In master recipes for manufacturing products, you assign the material you want to produce at recipe header level.
2. By creating production versions for the header material, you determine the alternative BOM to be used for production with this recipe.

You define a validity period and lot-size range for each production version.

3. You edit the alternative BOMs that you have assigned to your recipe in the production versions.

You determine the material components and quantities that are required for production.

4. You assign the material components of your alternative BOMs to the operations and phases of the recipe that require them for production.

Depending on the item category of the component you have assigned, you enter further specifications on how the component is to be processed (for example, backflushing of stock items).

5. You define the formulas the system uses to calculate material, operation, and phase quantities.

Depending on whether you have activated the SAP enhancement for material quantity calculation in Customizing, you define the formulas in the R/3 System or in an external application.

Depending on where the results are valid, you save them as follows:


If calculated quantities are valid	You
For all alternative BOM usages	Copy the results to the BOM.
For the current production version only	Only save the formulas.

 

6. You save the master recipe.
