Use this program to enter formulas using ingredients. The Formula Entry screen consists of two sections. The upper portion of the screen is called the header portion where general information such as the formula number, overhead and labor factors are entered. The lower portion of the screen is called the line-item portion where each ingredient item and quantity used to make up the formula is entered.
Once the formula number is set up in the entry program, the finished items using the formula should be set up in the Finished Item Entry program. After packages are set up, production planning can be entered as well as actual production.
You have the option of changing, adding to, removing line-items from or deleting the formula at any time. Deleted formula numbers can be reused. All ingredient items (items which are used to produce the formula) must be set up through the Item F/M program.
