  1. 1

    Open the Recipes tab

    Go to Production → Recipes (Bill of Materials). This is where you define the ingredients for each finished product.

  2. 2

    Create a new recipe

    Click 'New Recipe'. Pick the finished product from your product catalog, set the output quantity per run, and add components.

    Tip: Components should already exist in your product catalog as raw materials or semi-finished goods.
  3. 3

    Add component quantities

    For each component, specify quantity per output unit and wastage percentage. Wastage accounts for spillage, trim loss, or evaporation during production.

  4. 4

    Set overhead cost

    Capture fixed costs like electricity, labour, or packaging that aren't tracked as inventory line items. This rolls into the finished good's unit cost.
