4)       If origin ID is “Process Production” and control factor is “Unit Class”, then the unit class should exist in the “Physical Model” business component.

5)       If origin ID is “Process Production” and control factor is “Process Unit”, then the master recipe should exist in the “Process Model” business component.

6)       If origin ID is “Process Production” and control factor is “Process Stage”, then the master recipe should exist in the “Process Model” business component.

7)       If origin ID is “Process Production” and control factor is “Purpose”, then the control factor value should be “In Process Inspection” or  “Quality Clearance”.
