Product Lifecycle Management (SAP PLM):Useful classes and FM for PLM-RecipeManagement for process industries

Posted by Parag Parikh Apr 10, 2014When I started working on a PLM-RM implementation, I could not find simple material like list of classes or FMuseful for this module.

I am presenting here list of useful classes and FM from PLM-Recipe Management for process industries.Theseare useful in reading information about recipe and formula in ABAP program. I hope that this would be a usefulreference for consultants implementing this module.

Use method EXT_TO_INT_CONVERT of class CL_RM_INT_RECIPE. This will give us internal number i.e.GUID of recipe. Input is recipe name.

Read primary output formula of recipe using method PO_AND_PO_FRM_GET. We need internal numberobtained in step above as input here.

We see that we have obtained formula's internal number. Next task is what if we want to know external formulanumber? We can use class CL_RM_INT_FRM to get formula information. Method EXT_TO_INT_CONVERTgives internal number for formula.

Method ROOT_FOR_FORMULA_GET of class CL_RM_INT_FRM gives us reverse tracing i.e. root for formulawhich in this case will be recipe.

Use method ITEM_READ to read formula items.

We need to provide internal number for recipe and formula as input. Method gives us details of all substancesin formula along with materials/unit of measure in table ET_ITEM.

If the requirement is to read a substance only then we can use FM C1F2_SUBSTANCES_READ. Input will bescenario which is 01 for read, key date in I_ADDINF, pas I_FLAG_MATJOIN to get material information. Passsubstance internal number obtained from table ESTRH to X_API_HEADER_TAB-RECN.Parameter E_API_MATJOIN_TAB gives us the material and plant. Using material number we can fetch baseunit of measure from master data.

Jan BuchmannJan 6, 2015 9:28 AMThanks for your great blog! Very informative indeed. I only wished I had come across it a bit earlier - it would

have save me so much time...and headaches.

I've mainly used the following FMs: RCP301_RECIPES_READ to read recipe data RCP742_RCP_FRM to read formula data which requires FRML209_RCP_INIT to be called as well

as RCP742_SET_KEYDATE RCP130_PROVIDE_PO_FRML returns the primary output of a formula

I also found BAPI_BUS1077_GETDETAIL very helpful to read substance data.

Keep it up!
