Master Recipe in SAP PP-PI

Master Recipe in SAP PP-PI is a key element within the SAP PP-PI (production planning for process industries) module. The master recipe is a thorough document that outlines the steps, resources, and instructions required to manufacture a product. It is specifically relevant in industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food and beverage, and any other industry where the production process involves complex recipe-based manufacturing.

 

Key Components of a Master Recipe

• Header: It consists of general information about the recipe such as recipe ID, description, status, version, validity dates, and plant.

• Phases: These define the individual steps or operations in the production process. Each phase consists of details like duration, sequence, and dependencies on other phases.

• Operations: Each phase may include multiple operations, which are specific tasks or activities performed within a phase.

• Resources: It specifies the equipment, labor, and other resources required for each phase and operation.

• Materials: It includes the input materials (ingredients) required for each phase as well as intermediate and final products manufactured.

• Control parameters: It consists of settings for process control, such as temperature, pressure, and timing.

• Instructions: It includes step-by-step instructions for carrying out the operations and phases, including any special handling or safety precautions.

• Inspection points: It defines quality control checks and sampling points within the process.

• Formulas and calculations: It gives formulas for calculating quantities, yields, and other key parameters.

2. Define phases:

• Transaction code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Include phases in the master recipe by specifying phase numbers and descriptions.
  2. Specify the sequence of phases and any dependencies.

3. Define operations:

• Transaction code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Include operations to each phase, detailing the specific tasks to be performed.
  2. Define operation details such as work center, control key, and duration.

4. Assign Resources:

• Transaction code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Allocate the necessary resources (equipment, labor, etc.) to each operation or phase.
  2. Define resource requirements and usage.

5. Assign Materials:

• Transaction code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Write down the materials required for each phase, including input materials and output products.
  2. Specify material quantities and handling instructions.

6. Define Control Parameters and Instructions:

• Transaction code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Define control parameters such as temperature, pressure, and timing.
  2. Give detailed step-by-step instructions for each operation and phase.

7. Define Inspection Points:

• Transaction Code: Within C201
• Procedure:
  1. Specify quality control checks and sampling points within the recipe.
  2. Define inspection criteria and methods.

8. Save the Master Recipe:

• After entering all the required information, you can save the master recipe.

 

Integration with Other Modules:

The Master Recipe in SAP PP-PI is interlinked with several other SAP modules, which consist of

• Materials Management (MM): For purchasing and inventory management of materials.
• Plant Maintenance (PM): For handling and maintaining production equipment.
• Quality Management (QM): For ensuring product quality through inspection points and quality checks.
• Costing (CO): For tracing and controlling production costs.

 

By using master recipes, companies in the process industry can standardize their production processes, guarantee consistency and quality, and effectively manage their resources.
