Creating Recipe:

- Copy from recipe: (optional) choose the product whose recipe will be copied to the chosen product. You can use this option to quickly copy a recipe from another product & make small changes as required.
- Add all ingredients/raw materials, wastage percentage & final quantity.
The wastage percentage mentioned here is wastage for the raw ingredients which happens when the ingredient is cleaned, for example in cabbage some % is wasted when leaves & stems are removed. If the raw materials you’re using don’t have wastage you can keep it 0 %, which is the default.
Raw Ingredients: Raw ingredients are taken from the list of products. You can mark a raw ingredient as “Not For Sale” if it is not used for selling individually. For example, Some Raw ingredients like butter can be sold, some cannot be.
- Wastage %: Enter the wastage for the final product which can happen because of bad quality or other reasons.
- Total Output Quantity: Output quantity for which you entered the recipe.
- Production Cost: Check the production cost as described below.
- Recipe Instructions: Steps to be followed for the production of the final product from ingredients.
Production Cost:
- Fixed: If cost is fixed then a fixed amount will be used as production cost.
- Percentage: If percentage then the percentage of ingredients cost is taken as production cost.
- Per Unit: In this case, the total production cost is multiplied by the total output quantity
Adding Production:
- To add production go to Manufacturing -> Add Production
- Reference No: Optional reference number, you can keep it blank to auto-generate it.
- Business Location: Select the business location where production is done. Raw ingredients stocks will be deducted from this location & final manufactured product stock will be added to this location.
- Product: Select the product for manufacturing. based on selected product it will display all the Raw ingredients from recipe added.
- Quantity: Quantity of final product to manufactured. Based on this Raw ingredients quantity will be calculated from recipe.
- Input Quantity: Input quantity raw ingredients which will be used for production.
- Wastage Percent: Waste percentage of raw ingredients. For example, if you took Cabbage 1 KG, and 200 grams is wastage then wastage percentage is 20%, so 800 grams will be the final quantity.
- Final quantity: Input Quantity – Wastage Percent
- Wasted Quantity: Wastage quantity of final product for any reason.
- Production Cost: Check the production cost as described below.

Changes in Material(Item) Quantity during Production:
When production is done for a product, the quantity of raw materials gets reduced.
For example, for adding production of 1 packet of Chocolate Milk Shake. The raw materials used here are 1 packet of milk and 1 packet of bar chocolate.
When production is added for this product(Chocolate Milk Shake) and finalized, the following changes happen in product quantity.
- The quantity of milk gets decreased by 1 packet.
- The quantity of bar chocolate gets decreased by 1 packet.
- The quantity of Chocolate Milk Shake gets increased by 1 packet.
NOTE: These changes happen for just one time when the production is added.
Settings:
- Production Ref No. prefix: Prefix number when production reference number is auto-generated.
- Disable editing ingredients quantity: Disable editing of ingredients when adding production, this can help to restrict staff from editing raw ingredients
Using Manufacturing Module for Repackaging and Selling:
Sometimes, instead of manufacturing, businesses may repack raw materials and sell them in smaller quantities.
For example, a business may purchase oil in tones/liters/containers and repackage it to 1 liter, 500ml, 250ml, etc and sell them.
To achieve this follow the steps below
Step 1: Add the required product in each quantity using the add product feature
In our example,
Add the products as PD1 – Oil(tones/liters/containers), PD2 – Oil(1 litre), PD3 – Oil( 500ml), PD4 Oil (250 ml).
Mark the main product, Oil purchased in tones/liters/containers as “Not for Selling”.
Step 2: Add the Recipe
In our example,
Add the recipe for Oil – 1 litre, Oil – 500ml, and Oil – 250 ml.
Use the main product(Oil purchased in tones/liters/containers) as the ingredient.
The ingredient used for PD2 – Oil(1 liter) should be 1 liter of main product i.e, PD1 – Oil(tones/liters/containers)
Save the recipe.
Similarly, add the recipe for each required quantity.
Step 3: Add the Production for the recipe
Add the production for the added recipe in step 2.
Step 4: Add Sale
Now you can sell the product PD2 – Oil(1 liter) from the add sale/POS screen.
