   Click Yes to sort the report by the formulation header.

   VisionVPM will print a report similar to the one below, displaying:

• stock items that are components of a formulation but do not exist in your database, and

  When you close the report, if, as in the example above, the internal links point to an existing stock item but the formulation stock code does not exist, VisionVPM will display a prompt similar to the one below:

  

  Click Yes to allow VisionVPM to replace the formulation stock item with the stock item listed in the Internal Link Points To Code column.
