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 recipe structure
calculations.
Prerequisites
This activity requires,
- Parent part with Part Type set to Manufactured
Recipe
- Components must have been defined in the
Inventory Part window
- If the component should be a part of recipe
breakdowns and calculations of physical properties, the component must have
unit of measure in weight or volume, and the component must have defined
density
System Effects
As a result of this activity,
- The system creates a structure alternate in status Tentative connecting 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.
- Components that have the Exclude from Calculations check
box selected will not be a part of recipe breakdowns and
calculations, but except from that the component will be seen as a part of
the structure in other calculations, for example, MRP, Costing

Procedure
- Display the parent part by populating or by making a selective query in
the Recipe Structure window.
- In the Recipe Structure
tab enter a description of the alternate in the Alternate Description
field.
- If there is a need to change the unit for Weight UoM or Volume UoM,
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.
- if Enter by = Qty Weight UoM, the quantity needed to produce
the batch size needs to be entered for each component in the unit of
measure given in Weight UoM.
- if Enter by = Weight Share, the quantity of each component
needs to be entered as a percentage of the total weight of the recipe.
- if Enter by = Parts by Weight, the quantity of each component
needs to entered as a relative proportion of the total weight of the
recipe.
- if Enter by = Qty UoM, the quantity needed to produce the
batch size needs to be entered for each component in its own unit of
measure.
- if Enter by = Qty per Assembly, the quantity needed to
produce one unit of the parent part needs to be entered for each
component. Please note that it if the parent part has a unit in volume
it is not recommended to register recipes using this option. Since there
is no density calculated for the parent part the values for the
components will be wrong when the recipe is first saved. In these cases
you need you use RMB option Breakdown Recipe to get the correct values
for the components.
- If the batch size or the yield needs to be changed, use the right mouse
button option Adjust Recipe Structure from the alternate head.
- Add a new component in the
Structure
tab. 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
the step 4:
- if Enter by
= Qty Weight UoM, Weight Share, Parts by Weight or Qty UoM, enter the
quantity needed of the component to produce the batch
size of the alternate.
- if Enter by = Qty per Assembly,
enter the quantity needed of the component
to produce one unit of the parent part. Quantity needs to be given in
the components own unit of measure as given by the UoM
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 8 - 9 for each component. The total weight share must be 100%.
(Components that have the Exclude from Calculations check box selected will never be a part of the recipes weight share).
- 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 a component that should not be a part
of recipe breakdowns or calculations, then start from bullet 13 instead of
bullet 6:
- Add a new component in the
Structure
tab. Enter the component part in the Component Part field. Use the
List of Values to select from available parts, unselect the Only
Parts with UoM in Weight or Volume check box
to see all parts independent of
their Unit of Measure.
- If the component does not have a unit of measure
that is in weight or volume, the
check box Exclude from Calculations will automatically be selected. If the
component has a unit of measure that is in weight or volume, start by
selecting the Exclude from Calculations check box (if you select the
check box after entering the quantities, those quantities will disappear).
When the recipe has been saved the check box is not updatable.
- Enter the quantity in the correct field, depending on the selection in
the step 4:
- if Enter by
= Qty Weight UoM,
Weight Share,
Parts by Weight or Qty UoM, enter the
quantity needed of the component to produce the batch
size of the alternate.
- if Enter by = Qty per Assembly,
enter the quantity needed of the component
to produce one unit of the parent part. Quantity needs to be given in
the components own unit of measure as given by the UoM
field.
- Repeat steps 13 - 15 for each component that you want to add to the
structure, but that should not be a part of recipe calculations.
Note 1: If you want to change the need of a component that has the
Exclude from calculation check
box selected, Enter by must be selected as Qty per Assembly or
Qty UoM.
Note 2: If batch size is adjusted and recalculated the Qty UoM
is not updated if Exclude from Calculation check box is
checked.
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 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.
Note: if there is a by-product in the alternate, there is no automatic calculation
of the by-product quantity when calculating the batch size and the
summary of the components. You have to manually manage the by-product as a part of
the yield.
