● Mode: You determine the start mode:
– Operation: The operator triggers the start of the released batch.
– Immediately: A batch is started immediately once released.
– Time-driven: If you select this mode, you can set a start date and a start time in the
"Start" column.
Additional information is available in the section "Order of batch processing (Page 382)"
● Start: The start time of the batch is specified here in the "Time-driven" mode. This field can
also be used in a different mode. However the system ignores this information. Exception:
Process cell allocation list - this information is used here to display a potential conflict.
If batch start times are shown in red in the "Start" column, this means that there is a conflict
with the end time specified in the order. The batch time specified in the order does not lie
between the start and end time. To check the order time, open the dialog "Properties of ..."
for the corresponding order.
● Min: Minimum quantity. This limits the minimum actual quantity.
● Quantity: Quantity for quantity scaling of the quantity-dependent values used in the recipe.
The functions for scaling the values relate to this quantity, however, the entry can still be
modified before starting a batch.
● Max: Maximum quantity, upper limit of the concrete quantity
● Product, recipe procedure / formula, formula category: This is where you specify the formula
or master recipe (without formula reference).

the recipe editor.
