Control Recipes 
Purpose
Using control recipes, you transfer control data from the process order to process control. The information contained in a control recipe and the destination to which it is sent are user-defined.
Implementation Notes
Install this component in process manufacturing companies.
Features
Control recipes can be used in both automated and manually operated plants. Different types of control recipe destinations are available for this.
In Automated Plants
In automated plants , you must use the PI-PCS interface to send control recipes to the process control system (control recipe download). This means that your process control systems must be able to communicate with the SAP System through this interface. The control recipe download can be initiated by the SAP system or the external system.
In Manually Controlled Plants
In manually operated plants , you send your control recipes to the PI sheet.
If you have defined characteristic-based process instructions, you can choose whether the system should create an ABAP list-based PI sheet or a browser-based PI sheet .
If you have defined XSteps , the system automatically creates browser-based PI sheets.
You determine the contents of the control recipes using the characteristic-based process instructions or XStep process instructions that you define in your master recipes and process orders.
Depending on the definitions in the process instructions, the following data is transferred in control recipes:
Process and control parameters
Information about process messages that are to be returned to PP-PI
Instructions for the process operator as texts in partially automated or manually operated plants
After releasing the order, the process instructions are grouped with control recipes and transferred to process control for execution.
All control recipes to be sent are first checked by process management and sent to the corresponding destinations only if the checks were successful.

When the control recipes have been sent, you can monitor the processing status of individual recipes in the control recipe monitor.
