SAP Recipe Development

SAP Recipe Development is the module within S/4HANA that manages product recipes and formulas for process industries. It covers ingredient management, processing instructions, regulatory specifications, nutritional data, and allergen declarations, integrated with the supply chain and production planning.

Why it matters

For food, beverage, chemicals, and pharmaceutical manufacturers, the recipe or formula is the product. SAP Recipe Development is the system of record for that formulation, connecting R&D and regulatory to manufacturing and procurement in a single SAP environment.
