What are the Formulas Tabs?
The Formulas tab and its associated tabs serve as an integrated storehouse of data on ingredients and items, with recipes, supporting documents, product claims, testing, costing, and tools for creating and managing all aspects of your products.
Why did we create this feature?
Rather than continuing to deal with separate utilities for the tasks above, you can now do it all within the series of pages comprising the Formulas associated tab.
How do you implement/use this feature?
Here's a quick look at what each page of the Formulas sections cover.
