Recipes
Recipes viewer is available under the Company tab
Recipes are templates for the Bills of Materials. They describe what component items are consumed in the process of producing a final item. The Bills of Materials document that the actual process have taken place, and modify the stocks if necessary. If the components are inventory items, they will be removed from stock for every Bill of Materials. Final items will be added if they are inventory items.
An example would be the recipe of the Botox Treatment. One treatment consumes typically 50 units of Botox Solution and one Syringe.
Note that the recipes describe the ideal process. If more or less is consumed, the Bill of Materials allows the adjustment of the component quantities, or even the addition of others.
You can create recipes from Recipes from the Billing tab of the Ribbon.
