Creating a Recipe

Once the Manufacturing Group and Configs have been created and assigned, a recipe must be associated with the item that it manufactures. The below instructions will show the process of creating a recipe from scratch.

The instructions below regarding the Yield & Serving Sizes tab can also be done to an existing recipe.


Perform these instructions first in a test database if needed.
