Automatic Master Recipe Selection 

When you create a process order with a material, you enter a material, the quantity of the material to be produced and a basic order date. During automatic selection of a master recipe to match this data, the system attempts to select according to the following criteria:

  1. Material: The system first searches for all master recipes available for this material.
  2. Quantity: The system then searches for all master recipes which have a charge quantity range that corresponds to the specified order quantity. If there are no recipes with a suitable range, the system continues its search without taking charge quantity ranges into account.
  3. Order dates: The system then calculates the date on which the master recipe must be transferred into the order. Please see Validity of the Recipe in this documentation.
  4. Production version: The system searches for production versions valid for this material at this date. Please see Selecting a Production Version in this documentation.

For information on the sequence, refer to the log ‘Read master recipe’.
