You can create a process order without a master recipe if, for example, you want to produce one specific material in one specific process.

If you specifically do not want to use a master recipe when you create a process order, you can set the respective parameters in Customizing.

These parameters specify how the system is to proceed if no master recipes exist for the material.

If the parameters specify that recipe selection is not required, the system creates a process order in which it automatically creates one operation. It proceeds as follows:

• If default values are maintained for the automatic generation of an operation, the system uses these values to automatically create an operation in the order.
• If no default values are entered in Customizing, the system creates one operation, with control key 0001 and operation number 0010.

If you do want to use a master recipe when you create a process order, but recipe selection is not possible even if the parameters specify that recipe selection is required, the system issues a termination message, and you must restart order creation.

You can restart the master recipe selection process at any time prior to the release of the process order.

• If you choose Yes, you must enter a material for which a material list already exists. The system then uses this material list for the process order.
• If you choose No, an operation is generated for the order (operation 0010).
