3.Number/DID: The upper field contains the identification number assigned automatically to every newly generated trade name. The bottom field contains ID from the Decernis compliance management database (provided there is an existing connection to the database via special interface). This is used for compliance analysis in Recipe/List of ingredients. 0 indicates there is no connection to the database. Click on this field to enter other IDs (CAS, FEMA, etc.). These will be accessible from Recipe/List of ingredients → sub-tab Ingredient details. There are an additional 6 custom numbers that can be activated/deactivated.

5.Plural trade name: When creating an ingredients list using the Declaration automatic, you may come across a situation when two or more identical trade names (100%) consist of different ingredients.

The application of plural names has to be activated by the system administrator via a dedicated program parameter.
