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.

To create a manufactured item from scratch, start by creating a recipe to associate to the manufactured item first.

1. Locate and select the Admin & Maintenance Tab and select Recipes and Menus. Then, select Recipes.
2. Click Add Recipe.
   
3. Select As a new blank recipe, then click Ok.
   

4. Establish all recipe components. Then, click Save Changes. 

   The Yield and Serving Sizes tab is where you associate a Manufactured Item. It is also where you can create a Manufactured Item if it does not already exist.

    If the item this recipe Manufactured does not already exist...

   1. In the Yield and Serving Sizes tab, select the green plus sign button. 
      
   2. You will see a pop-up which will confirm that you are trying to create a new item associated with this recipe. Select Yes to proceed. 
      
   3. You have successfully created a manufactured item and associated it with this recipe.
      Select the Cog Wheel  if you wish to edit the Manufactured Item.
      
      
      
   4. Select Save Changes when finished.

Checking a Manufactured Item

If a new item was created while working on the Yield & Serving Sizes tab of the associated recipe, that item should be checked for accuracy via the item-specifics tab.

1. Locate and select the Admin & Maintenance Tab and select Items and Catalog Numbers. Then, select Items.
2. Find the Manufactured Item you would like to check. Double-click on the item.
   
3. Click on the Item-Specifics tab of the recipe. Here, you can verify that the primary unit and case size of the item matches the Yield and Serving Sizes tab of the associated recipe.
