📘 Screen: Formulation Type
The Formulation Type screen is used to set up the different physical and chemical forms of the products applied on the farm, especially crop protection products. This setup is essential to ensure the correct mixing order of products in a spray tank.
📍 Location in the system
Menu: Inventory > Formulation Type
🧩 Main function
This setup is the basis for the "Formulation type" field found:
- In the Product setup
- In the Work Order, where the correct application sequence appears
This is essential to:
- Ensure the tank mix is effective
- Avoid incompatibility between products
- Follow technical application protocols
📝 Setup fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Code | Internal identifier. |
| Description | Name of the formulation (e.g., SC - suspension concentrate, WG - water-dispersible granules). |
| Order | Number that defines the order in which it goes into the spray tank (e.g., 1 for SC, 2 for WG, etc.). |
| Notes | Additional notes. |
| Active | Defines whether it is available for use. |
- The tank mix will be built in the correct order
- Field application follows technical standards
- Work Orders will be safer and more standardized
❓ Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to set up the formulation type?
Because it defines the order in which products go into the spray tank. The wrong sequence undermines the mix's effectiveness and can cause incompatibility between products.
How do I set the mixing order in the tank?
With each formulation's Order field — for example, 1 for SC (suspension concentrate), 2 for WG (water-dispersible granules). That order then appears in the Work Order, guiding whoever prepares the tank mix.
Where is the formulation type used?
In the Product setup and in the Work Order, where the system shows the correct application sequence.
