Manufacturing › Batch Records
Recipe Parameters
What has to be measured, and what it has to be. Fixed here, BEFORE the batch — which is the property that makes an in-spec judgement a fact rather than a later opinion.

The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.

|---|---|---|---|
| Phase required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| Line | Number | ||
| Parameter required | Text | ||
| Unit | Text | ||

| Specification maximum | Number | ||
| Control minimum | Number | The tighter band a plant runs to so it never reaches the one it is allowed to reach. | |
| Control maximum | Number | ||
| Critical process parameter | Yes or no | One whose breach invalidates the batch. Everything else is worth recording and does not stop the line. | |

The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
