What is SAP PLM Recipe Development?

How to Ensure Product Development Processes with SAP PLM Recipe Development?
All information about the production process of a product and the input and output materials used in this process are managed in recipes. When a recipe is ready to be developed or sent for a trial production, it provides data transfer from the recipe to a production bill of materials (BOM) or a Master Recipe.
Creating or updating BOM/recipes to be used in production usually occurs when the R&D department completes the product definition and the information is finalized and approved for use in production. The bill of materials is synchronized with the recipe to ensure that all subsequent recipe changes are processed. Process items and quantities can be delivered to production to fully support the supply of materials.
Recipe Development also offers various reports containing formula, process and quantity information of recipes. Fiori also has applications in graphic views.
How to Integrate SAP PLM Recipe Development with Other SAP Modules?
SAP PLM Recipe Development; it offers integration with other modules such as PP, MM, DMS and ECM.
- SAP PP, the production version is assigned by synchronizing the recipes whose R&D work has been completed to the bill of materials (BOM) and Master Recipe.
- SAP MM, the specifications in the formula information in the recipe can be associated with the material data defined in the system. For recipes to be sent to production, a material relationship must be established with the specifications.
- SAP DMS, documents can be added based on specification and recipe data.
- SAP ECM, objects such as Materials, BOM, BOM Objects, Documents, Engineering BOM, Routing, Inspection Plans, Planning Scopes, Recipes, and Specifications can be assigned to the engineering record.
