Process Manufacturing
Process Manufacturing (PP-PI) covers the planning and execution of production in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, where formulas, recipes, and continuous or batch-based processes replace discrete routings and bills of material. This topic explains master recipes, resources, process instructions, process orders, PI sheets, and their integration with QM, batch management, and costing across ECC and S/4HANA.

Lessons in this topic
- Configuring Master Recipes, PI Sheets, and Process Order Execution FlowExplains how to configure master recipes with control keys, build Process Instruction Sheets, and trace the full execution flow of a process order from release through confirmation and integration with QM and batch management.
- Control Recipes and PI Sheet Execution in Process OrdersUnderstand how control recipes are generated from process orders, how PI sheets or external process control systems execute them, and how process messages feed data back into SAP for confirmation and quality evaluation.
- Foundations of Process Manufacturing: Recipes, Resources, and Process OrdersIntroduces why process industries need a different manufacturing model than discrete PP, and explains the core master data objects: master recipe, resource, and material list, along with the process order.
