process material (PP-PI)

Production Planning for Process Industries (PP-PI)

Material type that represents the manufacture of co-products. A process material is not a physical entity. It 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, for example, if production is not initiated by material requirements planning but by the availability of ingredients and capacities.

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