Supplier response ingredient types are listed below.
Supplier Response Compound Ingredient
When a supplier adds ingredients to a recipe, they search the ingredient library. When a compound ingredient is chosen, a copy of it is made as a supplier response compound ingredient so that each supplier can add their own sub-ingredients to it and so that parameters can be attached to it without permanently attaching that parameter to the library compound ingredient. Since parameters may be different based on how the compound ingredient is used, this keeps the library ingredients neutral.
