Procedure documentationCreating a Component Label Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You use this procedure to create a component label as part of a label set.

The component list contains a structure that describes how many key constituents there are, and a list where they can be defined multiple times based on the quantity of the output. A defined quantity can have multiple comparisons to standard value sets, as a proportional value.

You can define a component structure template in the Customizing activity Define Template for Component Structure under   Logistics - General   Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)   PLM Web User Interface   Recipe Development   Labeling   (see Defining a Component Structure).

Example Example

In the food industry, vitamins are usually shown as a fixed set of elements. Vitamin C, for example, can be present in multiple ingredients even within a single product like mixed fruit yoghurt, in strawberries, cranberries, and so on. In this case, Vitamin C must be displayed independently from the ingredient, showing the product’s total quantity.

End of the example.

Prerequisites

  • There must be one component structure per label. The description can appear in different languages, or differently in the same language, depending on the target location.

Procedure

  1. Create a label set or open an existing one (see Product Labeling Process).

  2. Choose the component label.

  3. Choose component structure template and the items.

  4. Choose Assign Data.

  5. Select a data origin, a base quantity, and a group.

    You can use the following data as the data origin:

    • The specification you entered when creating the label set

    • All recipes created in the PLM Web UI that use this specification as an input or an output

    The system then transfers the data and calculates the corresponding values.

  6. Assign RDA profiles to data origins if you are using nutrients as components. The RDA profile contains the recommended daily allowances (RDA) of nutrients expressed as a percentage.

The following steps are optional for the component label:

  • Edit the component structure

  • Edit the declared value and unit of measure

  • Assign statements to the items of the component list and footnotes to the declared values of the data origins. You can create these in phrase management (see Phrase Management (EHS-BD-PHR)).

  • Add a descriptions for the component list items

Note Note

Since ingredient and qualitative data information is package-size-independent, it is only possible to create those types of lists once. A label set contains multiple package sizes and on one package you can have multiple size-dependent component information; therefore these items are defined more than once.

End of the note.
