Batch Qty. A system-maintained field recording the normal batch
quantity for an item. If the formula was entered in Formula
Maintenance, Batch Qty defaults from the item master. Otherwise, it
defaults from Formula Code Maintenance. Use Batch Quantity
Change (15.9) to change the value.
Ingredient quantity per and process operation run times are stated in
terms of this batch quantity.
Run Time/Batch Qty. Enter the process operation run time in terms of
the batch quantity for the item/product.
To save data-entry time when defining processes for items that share
similar operations or when creating alternates, copy an existing definition
record with Process Definition Copy (15.16). Then add, change, or delete
operations as needed.
Process/Formula Maintenance
Process/Formula Maintenance (15.18) lets you enter formula, batch,
process, and co-product/by-product information from a single menu
program. This is particularly useful when you are setting up processing
for co-products/by-products.
