Create Recipe Structure
Explanation
This activity is used to manually enter the recipe structure of a part, i.e.,
the components comprising the parent part. Recipe structures are alternatives to
product structures/bills of material. Only components with a weight or volume
unit of measure can be included in a recipe structure.
Prerequisites
This activity requires that the parent part with the
Part Type set to Manufactured Recipe and the components must have been defined
in the Inventory Part window.
This automatically creates a structure record for the part. If the density is
used, it must have been defined for the components on the
Inventory
Part/Manufacturing tab.
System Effects
As a result of this activity,
- The system connects the components to a recipe part.
- The structure will be broken down to display the
gross content for component parts and substances. The physical properties of
the recipe part will also be calculated.
- It is also possible to save an archive
version of the recipe part.

Procedure
- Display the parent part by populating or by making a selective query in
the Recipe Structure window.
- Click the Recipe Structure
tab.
- Enter a description of the alternative in the Alternative Description
field.
- Specify the yield of the recipe in the Yield field.
- Enter a standard size to be manufactured in the Batch Size field
on the Recipe
Structure tab.
- Enter the unit of measure for the recipe in the Display Weight UoM
field. Use the List of Values to select from
the available units of
measure.
- Select the method for entering the quantity of the components in the Enter By field.
- Click the
Structure
tab.
- Select a line, then create a new line record (F5). Enter the component part in the
Component Part field. Use the List of Values to
select from the available parts. The Description and Unit columns
contain information from the inventory part register.
- Enter the quantity in the correct field, depending on the selection in step 6. If you
selected:
- Weight in the Enter By field, enter the quantity in the unit of measure for the specific component in the Qty in Display field.
- Weight Percent in the Enter By field, enter the quantity in percentage in the
Weight Share field.
- Component UoM in the
Enter By field, enter the
quantity per assembly in the Qty per Assembly field.
- In the Procedure Step field, enter the order in which the components are used. You can
add several components in the same step.
- Repeat steps 9 - 10 for each component. The total weight share must be 100%.
- To be able to plan or to use the structure, the alternative status must be changed from
Tentative to Plannable or Buildable. Right-click in the
Status field,
then click Plan or Build.
- Save the record (F12).
Note: When using the Prototype structure type, the structure
alternate can only have the Tentative and Obsolete states. The
structure alternate is created in the Tentative state and can be used by
Manufacturing. Structure alternates in the Obsolete state will not be
available for use in Manufacturing and cannot be changed to a different state.
If you want to enter by-products, then go to By-products tab:
- On the Recipe
Structure tab, select the By-Products tab.
- Enter components which are composed as by-products
when producing the parent part.
- Enter the unit of measure for the recipe in the Display Weight UoM
field. Use the List of Values to select from
the available units of
measure. Enter the quantity of the by-product component produced when producing
one part from the parent part in the correct field, depending on selection, if you have selected:
- Weight in the Enter By field, enter the by-product quantity in the unit of measure for the
specific component in the Qty in Display per Unit field.
- Weight Percent in the Enter By field, enter the
by-product quantity in percentage in the Weight
Share per Unit field.
- Component UoM in the
Enter By field, enter the
by-product quantity per assembly in the Qty per Unit field.
- Enter a value in the Oper Cost
Distribution Factor field. The number should be between 0 and 1 for each
by-product line. The sum of this value for all by-products on the structure
cannot be greater than 1.
Note: When shop order costs are
calculated, this value is multiplied with the operation cost to yield an
operation cost for the by-product line. The remaining operation cost is
allocated to the primary product.
- Enter a value in the Gen OH Cost
Distribution Factor field. This number should be between 0 and 1
for each product line. The sum of this value for all by-products on the
structure cannot be greater than 1.
Note: When the shop order cost
is calculated, this value is multiplied by the general overhead cost to
yield a general overhead cost for the by-product line. The remaining general
overhead cost is allocated to the primary product.
- Select the Use as Supply in MRP
check box, if you want to use it as supply when performing MRP.
Note: Use as Supply in MRP check box will not get enabled to select, if part
has a structure and the parent part is defined as a by-product at the lower
levels. For example Part B is defined as a by-product of Part A and Part A
is also defined as a by-product of Part B.
If by-product cost distribution is used:
- On the Recipe
Structure
tab, select the Use By-Product Cost Distribution check box.
- Click the
By-Product Cost Distribution
tab.
- Enter the value in the Item Cost Distribution Factor
field. This number should be between 0 and 1 for each component material
line for the by-product.
- If more than one by-product exists, enter the item cost distribution
factors for the remaining by-products.
Note: During shop order cost calculation, the factor is multiplied by
the shop order component cost and the value is allocated to that by-product.
This is repeated for all by-products. The remaining cost is allocated to the
primary product.
