Introducing material-based recipes

Once you have defined your material data and modified your area model, you can begin to modify your master recipes in the FactoryTalk Batch Recipe Editor. The process of creating material-based recipes is not too different than creating standard recipes. In fact, material-enabled phase steps are added to an operation as standard phase steps.

In this chapter, you create a new material-based operation that adds cocoa and hazelnuts to the sweetcream mixture, which is the basis for all the ice cream produced in the plant.
