By clicking on one of the above fields you can move it to and from the 'Fields in destination file' list box.
Adding a field
Adding a field to the 'Fields in destination file' list box will mean that this field will be exported to the ASCII text file.
To add a single field, highlight the field in the 'Recipe/Ingredients database fields' list box and click the 
button. This will move the selected field into the 'Fields in destination file' list box.
To add all fields, click the 
button. All fields available will be moved to the 'Fields in destination file' list box.
Removing a field
Removing a field from the 'Fields in destination file' list box will mean that this field will not be exported to the ASCII text file.
To remove a single field, highlight the field in the 'Fields in destination file' list and click the 
button. This will remove the selected field from the 'Fields in destination file' list box and place it back in the 'Recipe/Ingredients database fields' list box.
To remove all fields, click the 
button. All fields in the 'Fields in destination file' list box will be returned to the 'Recipe/Ingredients database fields' list box.
It is also possible to move the names of the fields appearing in the 'Fields in destination file' list box up or down to suit your presentation requirements. To do this, select the field and click on the 
or 
buttons.
In the example below we are exporting all retail products including their name, production/purchase quantity, production cost, markup, gross profit and category name.
An additional selection you can make from this page is whether you wish to export ingredient prices in usage units or in purchase units. If you wish to export ingredient usage units, mark the "Export ingredient prices in usage units" checkbox. If this checkbox remains unchecked, all ingredient prices will be exported using purchase units.
Once you have selected the fields you require to be exported click the "Next" button. This will take you to the Text format page.
