Documentation
Definition
The reference quantity, which you specify in the basic view of the recipe, is the basis for:
- Generating BOMs in the master recipe, if the data is copied from the general recipe with all the stages
If you only copy parts of the recipe when generating BOMs, the system asks you to enter a reference quantity.
- Calculating the aggregated formula in the recipe or process
You enter the quantity of the material that is to be produced. If you have not specified a quantity in the basic view for the recipe, the system automatically uses the primary output quantity from the last stage as the reference quantity.
- Creating the synchronized formula
If you have not specified a quantity in the basic view, the system automatically uses the primary output quantity from the last stage as the reference quantity.

Example
The example illustrates the function of the reference quantity in calculating the aggregated formula.
There is an aggregation view for formulas. It displays all the formulas for the previous stages, including quantity values that are normalized with respect to a specific reference quantity.
At recipe level, this is the recipe reference quantity.
Stage 1
Input
Mat. 1 20 kg
Mat. 2 30 kg
Output
Mat. 3 50 kg
Stage 2
Input
Mat. 3 100 kg
Mat. 4 50 kg
Output
Mat. 5 150 kg
300 kg of Mat. 5 is to be produced, in other words, normalized with respect to 300 kg. The following applies for the normalized quantities:
Stage 1
Input
Mat. 1 80 kg
Mat. 2 120 kg
Output
Mat. 3 200 kg
Stage 2
Input
Mat. 3 200 kg
Mat. 4 100 kg
Output
Mat. 5 300 kg
