As of Release 3.0E, the following new functions are available for master recipes:
Reallocating phases within the master recipe
You can reallocate a phase within the master recipe, that is, you can allocate it to a different operation. The resource of this phase is replaced with the resource of the new superior operation. All other phase data and allocations such as the relationships, material components, and process instructions remain the same.
In the operation overview, you can access the function
Reallocate phase via the menu Edit .
Please note that the system reallocates the phase on which you have positioned
the cursor and not the selected phase.
Having reallocated a phase, you should press ENTER
to trigger the operation data check. The system then prompts you, for example,
to maintain the standard values marked as required in the new resource.
Note:
In the operation overview, phases are sorted according to their number and not
according to the operations they belong to. For reasons of clarity, you should
therefore assign a number to the phase that fits the new operations after you
have reallocated the phase.
Checking PI sheets in the master recipe
The syntax check for process instructions that has been available in the process order since Release 3.0D is now also available in the master recipe. You can use this function to check the structure of process instructions of type 1, "Transfer control recipe to R/3 PI sheet".
The system checks whether
You can start a syntax check from within the master recipe by choosing the
menu options Extras -> Check PI
sheet .
The following table lists the recipe screens on which you can trigger this
function and the process instructions that are checked.
| Screen | Checks: | |
|---|---|---|
| Operation Overview | Process instructions of all selected | |
| phases, or | ||
| all process instructions for a control | ||
| recipe destination (selected after | ||
| function was started) | ||
| Process Instruction Overview | All selected process instructions | |
| Characteristic Overview | Selected process instruction |
After the check has been completed, the system branches to the check log.
The log lists all errors found. For detailed information on the errors as well
as on possible solutions, display the long text for the individual log
entries.
The log is stored until you trigger a new syntax check or exit the master
recipe.
Simulating the PI sheet
You can now also access the PI sheet simulation from the characteristic overview for a process instruction (menu Extras). The system only simulates the selected process instruction in the PI sheet.
Mass replacement and where-used list: extended log
You can display resources and process instruction categories in master
recipes that have logically been deleted but are still stored on the
database.
For example, you need this extended log if you want to delete resources used
in deleted recipes. As long as these recipes still exist on the database, you
cannot delete the resources allocated to them either.
To create the extended log, you must set the indicator Extended
log on the initial screen for mass replacement or where-used
lists.
Once the selection result is displayed, you can call the log choosing the menu
options Goto ->
Log.
Mass replacement and where-used list: selecting the master
recipes
of a plant or a planner group
You can restrict the selection result for the where-used list or for mass
replacement of resources and process instruction categories to the master
recipes of one plant.
To do so, maintain the plant in the Master recipe
section of the initial screen.
Using a planner group, you can restrict the selection even further. Note that you cannot enter a planner group without having specified a plant.
Mass replacement of resources: default values for the new resource
Until now, it has not been possible to specify default values for the new resource when carrying out mass replacement for resources. This function is now available in Release 3.0E. Choose the menu options Settings -> Default values on the initial mass replacement screen.
