In this exercise, add a batch of French Vanilla ice cream to the Batch list and
start the batch.
To run a sample batch:
1. Select the Add Batch command button. The Recipe List dialog box
opens, listing the recipes that are released to production, which
constitute the master recipe list for a facility.
2. Select the CLS_FRENCHVANILLA recipe, and then select OK. The
Batch Creation dialog box opens. The Formula Values area displays
the materials and amounts that are used in the recipe. The Unit
Binding area indicates the units that you can choose to bind to the
recipe.
This recipe takes advantage of the powerful Dynamic Unit Allocation
feature, which allows you to select which units in the area model to
bind to the recipe and when that binding occurs. In this batch, you
choose to bind the units as you create the batch. Later in this section
you see how to bind units to a batch after the batch is created.
3. Type TEST_1 in the Batch ID box.
