• Key Concepts: 
  Recipe explosion is a feature of the SAP PLM-WUI-RCP Recipe Development component. It allows users to create a single recipe and then automatically generate multiple versions of that recipe based on different parameters. This feature is useful for quickly creating multiple recipes with slight variations, such as different flavors or sizes. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the recipe explosion feature, users must first create a base recipe. This recipe should include all of the ingredients and instructions that will be used in all of the recipes that will be generated. Once the base recipe is created, users can then select which parameters they would like to vary in order to generate multiple recipes. These parameters can include ingredients, amounts, instructions, and more. Once the parameters are selected, users can click the “Explode” button to generate the recipes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the recipe explosion feature, it is important to make sure that all of the parameters are set correctly before clicking “Explode”. If any of the parameters are incorrect, it could result in recipes that are not what was intended. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the ingredients and instructions in the base recipe are correct before generating multiple recipes.
