How can you support a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)-compliant production process?

To support a GMP-compliant production process, you can use the following features in SAP S/4HANA:

Digital signature: This allows you to electronically sign documents and transactions that are relevant for GMP compliance, such as production orders, process orders, batch records, and quality inspections. Digital signatures ensure the authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of the documents and transactions12.

Batch record: This is a document that records the entire production process of a batch, including the materials, resources, operations, quality data, and signatures involved. Batch records provide traceability and documentation for GMP compliance3 .

Recipe approval: This is a process that ensures that only approved recipes can be used for production. Recipes are approved by authorized users who sign them digitally. Recipe approval prevents unauthorized changes and ensures consistency and quality of the products .
