Linking ingredients to keep ratios in proportion

In the Formula form, you can use the Sub# column to link ingredients together. This is useful if you must maintain the same ratio for certain ingredients whenever you change the formula.

  1. Open the Formula form.
  2. Click the Item Lines tab. Specify any numeric value in the Sub# column for the ingredients that you want to link together. For example, use Sub # 101.


  3. Change the quantity, quantity percentage, mass, or volume of one linked ingredient.
    • The respective values are updated for the other linked ingredients. The ratio remains the same between these linked ingredients.
    • The non-linked ingredients in the formula do not change.
    • A message indicates that the linked ingredients have been updated. System administrators can configure the Formula.ingr.SubNum_Message profile attribute to hide this message.
