How do I maintain variations such as drug or ingredient additions in formulas?
Use the Derivative Formula feature of Concept5. This saves time by avoiding the maintenance of separate specifications for formulas that are only slightly different from others. Products can be created as Derivatives allowing the definition of base/derivative relationships. This permits the formulation of one base product, with the automatic generation of one or more additional formulas with specified additions and/or deletions of medications or other ingredients. • Some of my feeds are custom-designed and contain combinations of more than one product and/or ingredient. In order to make one final formula, I have to “take apart” and combine products with others. This is a very tedious process. Can Concept5 help in this process? Yes, select Formula Combine from the Tools menu item at the top of the Main Menu.
