Recipe List
Search for the Recipe List page to get access to Recipes. The Recipe List is also available via Manufacturing > Recipe Management menu.
Recipe Card
The Recipe Card allows you to manage and organize production recipes by combining specific details such as the Item No., Production BOM No., Routing No., and their respective versions. This ensures that all relevant recipe instructions, ingredient details, and operations are tied to the correct production configuration. The Recipe Lines also enable detailed handling of each component (aka ingredient), including routing activities, production BOM, and instructions.
Recipe Header
The Recipe is defined by a unique combination of the produced Item No., Production BOM No. (and version, if applicable), and Routing No. (and version, if applicable).
Fill in the following fields in the Recipe Header:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| No. | Specifies the number of the Recipe, defined in Setup. |
| Description | Specifies a description for the Recipe. |
| Item No. | Specifies the Item No. produced by the Recipe. |
| Production BOM No. | Specifies the Production BOM number used for this Recipe. |
| Production BOM Version Code | Specifies the Version code of the Production BOM. |
| Routing No. | Specifies the Routing number used for this Recipe. |
| Routing Version Code | Specifies the Version code of the Routing. |
| Version Nos. | Specifies the Version No. Series. |
| Active Version | Specifies which Version of the Recipe is valid. |
| Last Date Modified | Specifies the last date that the Recipe was modified. |
| General Instructions | Specifies the General Instructions to be printed on the Production Order Recipe. |
Validations on Recipe Card Header
- Only Certified Production BOMs and Routings can be selected.
- If a Production BOM, Routing, or Item Card is deleted, the associated Recipe Card will also be deleted. A confirmation message will appear: “You are about to delete a record that is part of a Recipe. The Recipe will also be deleted. Do you want to continue?”
- There can only be one combination of Item No., Production BOM No., Production BOM Version, Routing No., and Routing Version.
- If a Version of a Production BOM or Routing is deleted, the system will update the Recipe Card and remove the reference to that Version.
Recipe Lines
Recipe Lines manage individual components of a Recipe, such as Production Instructions, BOM lines, and Routing operations. These lines allow detailed configuration of each operation, specifying how materials are used and how the item is produced.
Fill in the following fields in the Recipe Lines:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Line Type | Specifies the Recipe Line Type. |
| Routing Operation No. | Specifies the Operation number for the Routing line. |
| Work/Machine Center No. | Specifies the number of the Work/Machine Center related to Routing. |
| Work/Machine Center Description | Specifies the description of the Work/Machine Center. |
| Production BOM Line No. | Specifies the Production BOM line number. |
| Item No./Prod. BOM No. | Specifies the number of the Item/Prod. BOM related to Prod. BOM Line No. |
| Variant Code | Specifies the variant of the Item on the line. |
| Item No./Prod. BOM Description | Specifies a description of the Production BOM line. |
| Position | Specifies the position of the component on the Recipe. |
| Instruction Description | Specifies the text Instructions for this Recipe Operation. |
Validations on Recipe Lines
- Routing: The fields Routing Operation No. and Work/Machine Center No. are only enabled for lines with Line Type = Routing. If the Line Type is changed, these fields are emptied and disabled.
- Production BOM: The fields Production BOM Line No., Item/Prod. BOM No., and Variant Code are only enabled for lines with Line Type = Prod. BOM. If the Line Type is changed, these fields are emptied and disabled.
- Instruction: The field Instruction Description is only enabled for lines with Line Type = Instruction. If the Line Type is changed, this field is cleared and disabled.
- The first Recipe Line must always have Line Type = Instruction. If the first line is added with a different Line Type, an error will appear.
- If the first line is deleted and the next one is not of Line Type = Instruction, an error will be triggered.
- If a Production BOM Line or Routing Line is deleted, the corresponding Recipe Line will be deleted as well, and a warning will appear.
- If a line is added to a Production BOM or Routing that is part of an existing Recipe, the Recipe will not be updated automatically and a warning message will appear.
- When updating fields on the Production BOM:
- Item No.
- Type
- Variant Code
- Routing Link Code
or Routing:
- Work Center No./Machine Center No.
- Type
that is being used on Recipe, the system will show an error and fields cannot be updated.
Version
The Recipe Version feature allows you to maintain multiple versions of the same recipe over time. This is particularly useful when changes need to be made to a recipe without losing track of previous versions.
Recipe Versions enable the management of multiple versions, each with its own validity period based on the Starting Date.
Version Structure
The structure of a Recipe Version mirrors that of the original Recipe Card. The primary difference is the addition of the Starting Date to control its validity. A Recipe Version remains active until the next version’s Starting Date.
Key Points
- Starting Date: The Starting Date for a Recipe Version defines the beginning of the period during which the version is valid. A version remains valid until the next version becomes valid, based on its own Starting Date.
- When a new version of a recipe is created and becomes valid (based on its Starting Date), the previous version will no longer be applicable.
- The Last Date Modified field is automatically updated whenever a change is made to the Recipe Version. This ensures that the most up-to-date version is always available.
