Setting up allergens in Food for Business Central
This document provides information on the process of setting up Allergen information in NAV Food.
Additional Information
The setup of allergens in Food manufacturing & Distribution for Business Centralconsists of two parts. The first is a simple setting on the Inventory Setup page, called the "Allergen Consumption Enforcement Level". The second part is the declaration of the actual allergens in the system so that they can be assigned to objects and used and reported on.
After Allergens have been set up, they can be linked to items, Unapproved Items and BOMs. In order to make sure allergen information is passed from one item through a BOM to another item, the Allergen Rollup has to be used. This rollup can be set up through the Job Queue.
Please note that there are two approval workflows created in Food for Business Central, one for adding Allergens to the system (as base data) and one for adding Allergens to individual items. The approval workflow follows the standard Business Central procedures and is only in use for these two tables. There are no approval workflows provided for adding Allergens to unapproved items or BOMs.
