Alternate quantity percentages
By default, the formula’s Quantity Percent (i.e., MATERIAL_PERCENT) column is used to sort ingredients in an ingredient statement.
The Alternate Quantity% list, in the Ingredient Statement form, can be used to select another column for sorting.
System administrators must complete these setup tasks:
- Create the C_ALTQTYPCT Enumerated List.
- Configure the
ATTRIBUTE1 - ATTRIBUTE25
column values so that they are shown in the Alternate Quantity% list.
For the Enumerated List Custom Value field:
- Use the database column name, as defined in the
DB_FIELD_NAME
column of theFsValidationField
table, for theG.FORMINGRED
validation code. - In the database, change these columns from strings to double precision floating point numeric values.
- In the
Validation form, change these column definitions
to
TYPE_DATA 5.
System performance can be affected by the
Alternate Quantity %
feature. Therefore, do not create
the
C_ALTQTYPCT enumerated list
unless you plan to use this feature.
