In a recipe extension grid, menu item extension grid, or fluid extension grid, a cell can have a "recipe extension template" available as an option to quickly create a substitute recipe for a texture type or fluid type.
A recipe extension template contains common details applicable to the texture type or fluid type. For example, recipes for the puree texture always contain the same preparation steps, have the same portion size, and might even add the same amount of liquid. Therefore, by using a template, a recipe can quickly be created that contains those common details.
In the example screenshot below of a recipe extension grid, the template Create P/PU4 Entree Recipe is available as an option from the Puree texture cells that will automatically create a puree recipe for the associated recipe.
An extension template can be created by corporate accounts users and above. Facility account users do not have the ability to create extension templates. See Creating a Recipe Extension Template for instructions on creating a recipe extension template.
