Sometimes it is easier to create a formula in the Formula Development or Nutrition Labeling section, save it in that section, then retrieve it in the Ingredient Declaration section. Instuctions on how to do this follows.

The user should be in the Ingredient Declaration section

If you wish to add ingredients as a sub-ingredient for an ingredient in your formula, click on that ingredient. If you wish to add a primary ingredient to the formula (not as a sub-ingredient), click the formula name cell.

Click the Ingredients button and select Add Formula Ingredients.

A window appears (see figure below). You can search for a formula name or an ID number by selecting the appropriate option, entering search text, and pressing the Search button. Clicking any of the column heading buttons (Formula Name, Date and Type buttons) will sort that column in descending alphabetical order. The Copy List button (B) will copy all the formula information shown in the window. This allows the user to easily copy the information to another document. The View button (C) displays information for the selected formula. The Look In button (D) allows the user to select a different formula file. The Change Ingredient File button (E) allows the user to select a different ingredient file. If you wish to add sub-ingredients for a higher level ingredient in the formula, click on the higher level ingredient.

Select the appropriate formula and press the Add button. Close the window when finished.
