By using Validity Rules an organization can set the standard quantity and effective dates of a recipe to specify what, where, when, and how formulas, recipes, routings, and operations must be applied.
Prerequisite:
- Recipe
To know how to create a recipe, click the following link.
Navigation: Process Engineer > Recipes
Query the recipe for which the validity rule is going to be set & Click Validity Rules tab.
Enter the Organization that owns this Validity rule.
Validity Rule
Select Recipe Use as,
- Production for use in production of products.
- Planning for use in planning material consumption.
- Costing for use in establishing costs.
- Regulatory for use with hazardous or controlled materials.
- Technical for use in establishing technical classes and subclasses.
Enter a Product in the formula for the validity rule.
Enter the Preference number for the validity rule. When more than one formula can be used to produce the same product, this field indicates the validity rule that must be used first, second and so forth.
Enter the Standard Quantity of product made with the formula. This quantity is only used for product costing. It does not restrict quantities that can be produced with the formula.
Enter the Minimum Quantity of product that can be made using the Formula.
Enter the Maximum Quantity of product that can be made using the formula.
Theoretical displays the theoretical process loss based on the Validity Rule Standard Quantity.
Enter Planned Process Loss. This overrides planned process loss entered at the routing level.
Enter Fixed Process Loss. This value is defaulted to the value you entered in the Recipe Details window. If required, we can override this value.
Enter From date as the date the validity rule becomes effective. The date must be within the effective date for any routing associated to the recipe.
Enter To date as the date to stop using the validity rule. If an expiration date is not defined for the validity rule, then this is an optional field and must be left blank.
Step Quantity
The fields are view only.
Operation associated to the step will be displayed.
Step Quantity and its UOM indicate the quantity processed by the routing step and the unit of measure of the step quantity.
Now a validity rule is set for this Recipe. The system will not allow us to create a batch with this recipe, even if any one of the condition in the validity rule fails.
Note:
A validity rule cannot be approved for general use until its associated recipe is approved for general use. We can change the status of recipes or validity rules to on-hold or obsolete even if they are used in batches as long as all the batches are closed or canceled.
