Process for defining formulas

You can define and maintain formulas. The process is described briefly here.

  1. Create a formula using rule codes and copy methods.
  2. Assign general information.
  3. Specify formula yields to calculate automatically.
  4. Add ingredients.
  5. Assign byproducts.
  6. Assign instructions.
  7. Assign and calculate parameter values.
  8. Add information to extension tables.
  9. Look at views of related data.
  10. Add references to related objects.
  11. Add standard properties (attachments, contexts, sets, security).
    Advanced tasks include:
    • Assigning sub-formulas
    • Creating master formulas
    • Assigning alternate ingredients
