Recipes and Production
Recipes define how raw materials are consumed to create a finished item, while production logs record the actual conversion into finished stock.
What a recipe can contain
A recipe can store:
- recipe name
- target finished product
- description
- yield quantity
- raw material list
- raw material quantity
- wastage percentage on recipe items
Why yield matters
Yield tells the system how much finished product the recipe creates. SmartBill can then scale ingredient requirements based on the requested output.
Production workflow
Typical flow:
raw material stock -> recipe -> production log -> finished product stock
What production can store
Production logs can include:
- product
- branch
- quantity
- batch number
- manufactured date
- expiry date
- extra costs
- total cost
- notes
When production is completed:
- raw material stock is consumed
- finished product stock is added
- cost and batch history are recorded
