Enter or edit volumetric measures for a raw material

You can enable volumetric measures (e.g. cup, mL and L) for a raw material. This is especially helpful if the raw material is a liquid.

Then when you use this raw material as an ingredient in a sub recipe or recipe you can use volumetric measures to enter the quantity.

To do this, you determine the Volume Conversion Factor (VCF) by entering how much a certain volume of this raw material weighs. This is also known as the specific gravity or density. 

To enable volumetric measures, on the Measures tab:

1. Click Edit.
2. If the recipe is a liquid–Click the Liquid toggle, this will automatically enable the volumetric measure toggle. 
   - OR - 
   If the recipe is not a liquid–Click the Volumetric measures toggle. 
3. Enter the number of millilitres (mL) and its accompanying weight in grams (g). For example, enter 100mL = 115g. 
   
4. Changes are saved automatically. When you are satisfied with this resource draft, click Publish.
