Direct Request Blend Tickets are used when certain Products are directly requested at a specified rate or total amount. This method assumes the exact Product quantity and/or rate desired for the blend is known. Below is an example of creating a basic Blend Ticket by Direct Request using a Basic Dry Product Set. The steps to create the ticket would be the same if using a Basic Liquid Product Set.
Note: This method is also used to create Blend Tickets for chemicals and water. The typical entry order for items is fertilizer, chemicals, and then services. The only restriction on entry order is an Analysis item must be the first item on the list for fertilizer mixes. Analysis and non-analysis items may be in any order after the first line.
