Save a Control Recipe

You can save the recipe associated with a completed batch to the recipe database. All final target values for formula parameters are saved. You also have the option to save the recipe as an equipment dependent recipe by enabling the Save Runtime Equipment check box. Additionally, you can retain recipe approvals by enabling the Retain Recipe Approvals check box. This selection enables the recipe to be immediately scheduled. The operator also has the option of overwriting the existing recipe or changing the Recipe ID and saving it as a new recipe. If the existing recipe is overwritten, the version number is incremented.

Regardless of the options selected, the operator must enter their name in the Author field and optionally enter a comment. The comment is saved as part of the version history.

Note: If the Recipe was created as read-only, you cannot save it with the same Recipe ID. However, you can save it with a different Recipe ID.
