Template:Ingredient Type

Ingredient Type is a descriptor used to classify and separate ingredients by kind.

Besides the Name, it has a Code and a Sort Sequence. Our standard Ingredient Types are Bulk with a code of "B", Micro with "M", Hand add with "H", and Liquid with "L".

The Batch report uses the Ingredient Type to sort, separate and subtotal the ingredients in the formula solution.

Users can add new Ingredient Types and change the Sort Sequence of the standard types, but deleting the standard Types or changing their Codes is not a good idea because future modifications to the Batch Report may use the standard Types and Codes in special, predefined ways.
