This activity is used to add components and possible by-products to a recipe structure alternate.
Parts included in a recipe structure need to have volume or weight as the unit of measure to be a part in the recipe calculations. The density is fetched from the Inventory Part page. When a recipe structure is saved, the recipe will be automatically broken down to parts and substances that the recipe consists of. The physical properties of the recipe parent part will be calculated.
Use the command New Components to open an assistant to enter the new recipe structure. In the first step you enter the components that are part of the recipe, in the second step enter the components that are excluded from the recipe calculations and in the third step you enter the recipe by-product components.
The assistant is opened with the selected alternate values for Enter by, Batch Size by Weight, Yield and Weight UoM and you cannot change those in the assistant.
To save a recipe the recipe weight share must be equal to 100%. If you need to adjust the recipe to be able to save it you can use adjust commands.
If the Enter by is either Qty Weight UoM or Qty UoM, the available adjustment options are:
If the Enter by is either Weight Share or Qty per Assembly, the available adjustment options are:
If the Enter by is Parts by Weight, there is no need to adjust the recipe; the total weight share is always 100%.
Note: Default value for Enter by is defined on Site/Manufacturing page in section Structure/Routing Settings.
