Batch Recipes are used when you prepare items in batches (e.g., sauce, dough) rather than per order. You define the batch recipe, produce it, and the output is tracked as batch inventory.

​
Overview

  • Create batch recipes (ingredients in, outputs out)
  • Produce batches and record output
  • View batch recipes and their status
  • Track batch expiry (if applicable)

​
Prerequisites

  • Inventory Items must exist.
  • You need permission to manage Batch Recipes (Show Batch Recipe).

​

Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

MistakeHow to avoid
Wrong input quantitiesMatch recipe quantities to actual usage; wrong amounts cause stock discrepancies.
Forgetting expirySet expiry for perishable outputs so Batch inventory tracks what must be used first.
Producing before stock checkEnsure enough input stock exists before producing—otherwise the system may block or show an error.
