  • Calorie value format - the format for displaying the calorie value of stock items in the Nutritional value panel.

  • P/F/C format (Protein, Fat, Carbohydrates) - the format for displaying protein, fat, and carbohydrate contents in the Nutritional value panel.

  • Weight format - the format for displaying stock item weight and calculating stock item density and package weight in the Weight panel.
