Recipes are created by using raw materials (Master data objects) which consist of ingredients (trade names). The tab Ingredients represents the main section for building ingredients lists. It contains the following sub-tabs:
•Origin.
•Meat.
Trade Name from Raw Goods
In the Trade name from raw material sub-tab, a new ingredient list can be created. Additionally, by using Declaration automatic, an automatically generated ingredient list may be selected in this dialog.
1.Quick access toolbar: For more information, see Declaration/Function & Processes/Basic Declaration Functions.
2.List of ingredients: Select an existing ingredient list or press # to create a new list. See Declaration/Functions & Processes/Create a list according to declaration and Declaration/Functions & Processes/Create a list according to flavor specification for more information for more information.
Right-click on the # button to delete the ingredient list or its currently loaded version.
3.ID: The identification number of the ingredients list. It is generated automatically.
Ver.: The release version. An ingredients list can be controlled via processing and control statuses. When the control status of the list is Released, it is not possible to edit the list anymore, but a new release version can be created using the # button, located next to the version number.
Type: The type of the ingredients list which can be set up via Administration/General/Declaration - automatic. Types are used as identifiers and are directly associated with a declaration profile (2). Type is important for Reporting and Assignments.
4.Processing/control status of the ingredient list. This section is shared across all of the sub-tabs of the Ingredients tab.

Column Z will contain symbol > and the name will be present in the column Legal name.
Percent: The proportion of each ingredient in the recipe.
N.A.: Indicates whether the quantity of the ingredient in the material equals N.A. in order to depict that the amount is undefined and not precisely 0. The Percent column displays the N.A. values, such as 0, therefore, the N.A. column is used for differentiation purposes.

QUID-min %: When selected, the QUID value receives additional text that can be defined via Administration/Texts → Text area Declaration (DEKL) → Text type Text templates (VTEXT) → QUID_ATLEAST_TEMPLATE. Using this predefined text you can create phrases like Contains at least 75% of beef where 75% is the QUID value.
Footer: An additional selection list of information that will be displayed as a footnote of the ingredient list (running text). The ingredient will receive a superscript number referencing the footnote.
In text: This field contains a selection list that is used to select additional information (e.g. contents of fields Base, Country of origin, etc.) to be included in the ingredients list (running text). The precondition for this feature is that the selection list options are assigned to the ingredient in Administration/General/Trade Definition → section Comment. Without this, the field will not contain any selection list. Once you select the type of information to be declared, you may need to press the Refresh button. The information will then display in the list of Ingredients.
6.Right-click context menu. The following options are accessible:
Convert to 100%: If the total percentage of % out is not 100%, SpecPDM will change the quantities of all ingredients to reach it. When the QUID in or QUID out checkboxes are selected, SpecPDM ignores these quantities and adjusts the other quantities to reach the 100%.
|
Example: There are two ingredients in the recipe: Water (20%) and Milk (40%). So the current total is 60%. •When no QUID in or QUID out checkbox is selected, converting to 100% will result in Water (33,3%) and Milk (66,6%). •When we select checkbox QUID in or out for Water, the result will be Water (20%) and Milk (80%). •When we select checkbox QUID in or out for both ingredients, the result will be Water (20%) and Milk (40%) because both quantities are locked so converting to 100% is not possible. |
Combine: Combine ingredients marked with * in the second column into one. See Master data/Ingredients for more information about manual combining of ingredients and a description of the Combine/convert window.
Resolve: Resolve combined ingredients into separate ingredients.
Modify combination: Available for combined ingredients only. Opens the Combine/convert ingredients dialog where the quantities of the combined ingredients as well as the declaration options can be adjusted.
Meat QUID: Some products may contain meats from multiple types of animals. When declaring the constitution of the meat used in the product (i.e. the QUID of adipose tissue, connective tissue and meat) it is necessary to declare it for each animal separately. Use the selector in column Z (see point 1) to select ingredients to be included for the meat QUID declaration for each animal, then select the corresponding meat QUID type from the right-click context menu.
The selected components will be replaced with the calculated meat QUID for the three constituents of the meat. You can define the three trade names that will replace the original ingredient names via Administration/General/Declaration - automatic → section Meat (e.g. the trade name of the connective tissue for chicken is chicken collagen).
