Steps

  1. Open Stock tools, or choose More → Stock tools in Food & Beverage. Select Food preparation.

  2. Open Add a recipe. Enter Recipe name, Prepared item, Quantity produced, Preparation location, Ingredient and Ingredient quantity, then choose Save recipe. Check the review and confirm Save recipe; saving the recipe does not change stock.

  3. Open Prepare a batch, select the saved Recipe, and enter Quantity to prepare or leave it blank to use the recipe quantity. Add a batch number and expiry date if needed, then choose Create batch, review the details, and confirm Create batch.

  4. Check the new row's recipe and quantity, then choose Mark complete. Review the ingredients and output, then confirm Complete batch and update stock. Completion uses saved actual ingredient quantities where present and planned quantities otherwise.
