Overview

This topic describes about the countries that are supplying the ingredient (Country of Origin) and the specific allergens present in the ingredient (allergen sources), This data is captured in PLM Process items and roll up to formulation.

The ingredients can be acquired from a single or multiple countries. To include these countries of origin, the Country of Origin feature is added. This feature allows users to specify the Country of Origin for updating the sources, which further roll up to formulations.

An allergen material, such as Nut Allergen can contain different types of allergen sources such as Peanut, Almond nut and Hazel Nut. But some customers can choose not to configure a roll-up parameter for each type of treenut, fish, and so on. To include these allergen sources, the Allergen Sources feature is implemented. Using this feature, you can identify the allergen sources of an allergen parameter (for example, Treenut) and the allergen sources of an ingredient that contains the allergen roll up to formulations.
