Batches" Tab (Create Order) - Siemens SIMATIC BATCH Operating Manual

● Actual quantity: Sum of the individual quantities of all batches in the folder. The actual total
quantity of the order (order quantity) is adjusted from the number of batches and the
respective batch quantity. If the number can no longer be displayed and stored, then
"1.#INF" is displayed in the field. The value is larger than 3.40282e+038". Totals
calculations of individual batch quantities only make sense if they refer to a uniform quantity
unit. In case of different quantity units, the value "not unique" is displayed instead of the
concrete value.
● Max: Maximum quantity, upper limit of the concrete quantity

master recipe (without formula reference).

the recipe editor.
