Use these fields to create a formula number.
1. Formula
Specify the formula (up to 6 characters). Press F2 to search for formulas previously entered through this program. After you specify a formula, the MC Side Bar is available from the entry grid to display additional information for ingredient items.
2. Desc
Specify the formula’s name or description (up to 30 characters).
3. Overhead
Specify the overhead cost per unit of producing this formula as an amount or a percentage (including the % sign).
4. Labor
Specify the labor cost per unit of producing this formula as an amount or a percentage (including the % sign).
5. Standard Production Quantity
Specify the standard quantity of this formula that is normally produced (0-99999999). For example, enter the quantity of a standard batch.
6. UM (Unit Of Measure)
Specify the unit of measure of the standard quantity (up to 2 characters). For example, if 100 pounds are normally produced, enter LB.
7. Waste %
Specify the total maximum percentage of waste when this formula is produced for the standard production quantity (0-99.9). This waste % is used in the Production Entry and Confirmation programs to ensure that the units of formula produced do not differ from the units required by more than this percentage.
This concludes the header portion of the Formula Entry program. At this time, the header record is created. After the header record is created, all the header fields except #1 are accessible through the change header routine. Field #1 can only be changed by deleting and reentering the formula number.
Line numbers are assigned automatically beginning with 001 and incrementing by one for each additional line-item up to 999. In the rare case where 999 line-items have been entered, the program refuses further entries.
8. Item Number
Specify the ingredient item number to be used to produce the formula. The entry must be a valid number. Valid entries display the item description and stocking unit of measure. You can create a memo line by entering M as the item number. The program assumes a memo line is to be entered and advances to the description field. Press F1 to use currently displayed value. Press F4 to removes the line and backs up to the previous line number.
9. Units
Specify the number of units needed to produce the standard production quantity (field #5) (1-99999999).
10. Memo
Specify the memo to appear on the formula listing (up to 20 characters).
11. Update Usage
