Turn ingredients into finished goods

• Manufacturing, then Recipes, then Add Recipe.
• Choose the Product this recipe makes. A recipe is a product with a list of ingredients behind it, so the finished product has to exist already.
• Set a Wastage Percent if you lose material in the process. It is one figure for the whole recipe.
• Under Ingredients, press Add ingredient and search each component in by code or name. Set the Quantity, Unit, Unit Cost and Unit Price.
• Press Submit.

• Manufacturing, then Productions, then Add Production.
• Set the Date, the Warehouse and the Production Status.
• Choose the recipe under Select Recipe.
• Set Total Qty, which is how many units of the recipe this run produces. It has to be a whole number.
• The Combo Products table fills itself in with the recipe's ingredients and shows what the warehouse holds against what the run needs.
• Add a Production Cost and a Shipping Cost if they apply, then press Add Production.

The Final Quantity column is the quantity multiplied by the unit conversion, then by Total Qty. That is what leaves stock. Any line the warehouse is short on is marked, and the form will not save until you fix it.

Saving takes every ingredient out of the chosen warehouse and puts the finished product in.

The recipe list carries a Margin badge reading Healthy, Thin or Poor, worked out as the sell price less the ingredient cost, as a share of the sell price. A recipe with no ingredients yet says so instead.

On a recipe, Ingredient Cost is the figure that counts the quantities. The stored cost and price on a recipe add the per unit figures without multiplying by the quantities, so they can disagree.

• A production run cannot be edited. The screen says so and shows the run read only. If the figures are wrong, delete it and record a new run.
• Editing a recipe is not reliable in the current app. The screen warns that the recipe edit form posts to a method that does nothing, so changes are lost without an error. Create a new recipe rather than editing an old one until that notice is gone.
