Batch Production
Use Batch Production to consume recipe ingredients at one location and create finished stock with a tracked batch reference.
Who is this article for?
Use Batch Production to consume ingredients at a selected location and add finished stock. Prepare the stock item's recipe before starting.
Before You Start
Check that the stock item has configured ingredients and that the production location has the required ingredient inventory. The dashboard picker lists stock items with recipes.
Configure the Run
The screen checks feasibility when the selection is complete. If ingredients are missing, review their required and available amounts before continuing.
The workflow generates a batch reference internally; there is no editable Batch Reference field on this page.
Execute Production
Choose Execute Production only after the availability check succeeds. Crunch consumes the ingredients and adds finished units to paid availability, with the calculated production cost and audit reference.
Ingredient inventory consumption uses the configured method:
- FIFO uses free availability before paid availability.
- Proportional uses the current free/paid ratios.
These are the consumption meanings used in Crunch. Check ingredient units and location costs as well as quantities before relying on production costing.
