Recipe Handover to Production - Bill of Material

You can use this business process to create and update a bill of material using a recipe as data source. A bill of material is created to enable the manufacturing of the product.

The creation or update of BOMs typically occurs when the development department completes product definition and the information is finalized and approved for use in production.

The BOM is synchronized to the recipe to enable processing of all subsequent recipe changes.

You can hand over formula items and their quantities to production to fully support the procurement of the ingredients.

The handover of process parameters to production is not covered by this scope item and must be set up by the customer.

Key Process Steps Covered

  • Review recipe and decide to handover to production
  • Copy development recipe to site recipe and assign materials
  • Release site recipe
  • Define plant specific target bill of material for the recipe for synchronization
  • Simulate and execute synchronization of the recipe into a bill of material
  • Save manufacturing bill of material
  • Check manufacturing bill of material
  • Create Production Version

Benefits

  • Create manufacturing data from development data in a fully integrated way
  • Provide a permanent link between the two states to ensure full linkage between design and manufacturing states
  • Minimize possible inaccuracies in handover process by identifying differences between development and production and providing guided assistance for reconciliation
