This article provides a side-by-side comparison of the Dry Goods Batch Tracking & Addition Calculator vs simple additions in InnoVint:
-
- No tracking of additive inventory
- All additives are manually calculated by the user and entered as numerical values within a direct action or work order task
Dry Goods Batch Tracking & Additive Calculator
-
- Individual additive batches are tracked by weight, volume, or individual units
- On-hand inventory is depleted as additives are used per batch
- InnoVint calculates how much to add per vessel/lot based on user-set additive rates
- Option to add multiple additives and batches to one or more lots in a single action or task
Simple Additions
The specifics and details of each addition are entered manually as text in the Notes and Details sections of the action or work order task. Find out more about recording a simple addition here.
In the example below we've entered the batch number and total amount of the additive used in the Notes section, and in the Details section we've indicated the addition rate, the amount of SO2 solution that has been added to each vessel type, and instructions on how to make the addition.
When you have recorded a simple addition, your additions history will look like this:

Additive and packaging inventory and associated batches are tracked in the Dry Goods Explorer navigation tab. For more information on the module, check out our article Navigating the Dry Goods Explorer.
The Dry Goods Feature with Addition Calculators is a feature available at certain subscription levels. If you do not see the Dry Goods Explorer in your lefthand Nav menu, please contact InnoVint Support at support@innovint.us to learn more.
When recording an addition action or assigning an addition task in a work order, the additive(s) are selected from your current available inventory. The amount of each additive to use for each vessel is automatically calculated based on the addition rate and vessel fill, and the total amount used is then subtracted from your inventory. Multiple additives and multiple batches can be added to multiple lots within the same action or work order. Find out more about recording an Addition action here.
A submitted action will look like this in your additions history:
