• Key Concepts: 
  Independent formula is a feature of SAP Recipe Management (PLM-RM) that allows users to create and store formulas that are independent of any recipe. This means that the formula can be used in multiple recipes without having to be re-entered each time. The formula can also be modified and updated without affecting the recipes in which it is used. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use an independent formula, users must first create the formula in the Recipe Management system. This can be done by entering the ingredients, quantities, and other relevant information into the system. Once the formula is created, it can be assigned to a recipe or multiple recipes. The formula will then be used in those recipes when they are created or modified. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an independent formula, it is important to make sure that all of the information is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that the formula is used correctly in all of the recipes in which it is assigned. Additionally, it is important to keep track of which recipes are using a particular formula so that any changes made to the formula can be applied to all of those recipes.
