How recipe management works: versions, scaling and label details
1. Material Lines per Unit
Each line holds quantity per unit and tolerance.
Material flags, such as allergens, follow your workspace set-up.
Which checks or sign-offs a flag needs is configured by you.
- Versions
- Each version carries an effective date and approval under your sign-off rules.
V5 doesn't decide allergen status; your team classifies materials.

2. Steps and checks in the recipe
Steps and in-process checks sit with the recipe, not in separate documents.
Checks appear at the step they belong to.
Changing a step means a new version.
- Example
- Steps and values are a worked example.
Whether a step can be skipped follows your configured rules.

Weighing, Dispensing & Formulation Buyer Guide
Straight answers.
What buyers ask us first about Production & Planning.
Does V5 replace our planning spreadsheet?
Scheduling and MRP give planners a board and suggested orders to review. Planners still decide what to run and when.
Can operators work from a tablet at the line?
Yes. The operator kiosk runs on tablets and shows one step at a time, recording what was done as the work happens.
Which plan includes electronic batch records?
Electronic batch and device records with e-signatures start on Professional. See Compare details on the pricing page for the full list.
