Production System

Overview of the Premium Production system: the Production Hub, stock in lots with FEFO, quick and planned production, scrap, the Production Log and Analytics, traceability, products and packaging, recipe sets and sales orders, and first steps.

Production Planning

Schedule recipes and packed products on a weekly drag-and-drop calendar, size batches by weight, containers or a limiting ingredient, forecast ingredients against stock, orders and planned production, plan packing tasks, print work orders and import desktop plans. Premium.

Stock Management

Track ingredient inventory with automatic stock deduction, purchase recording, expiry alerts, FIFO consumption, and real-time cost calculation for production batches.

Production Logging

Log batches from the Produce page (Premium): scale by multiplier, weight, containers or buckets; weigh with the checklist and lot hints; mark as produced with FEFO lots and Adjust lots; scrap failed batches; use the Production Log, Production Details and Analytics.

Production Traceability

Track ingredients bidirectionally: trace supplier lots forward to find affected batches during recalls, or trace finished batches backward to identify ingredient lots used in production.

Products and Packing

Define packed products from recipes (g or mL per unit) and packaging items, see cost per unit, print product specification sheets and labels, pack units from produced batches, and track Product Inventory with Sell/Use, Pack More and reusable containers. Premium.

Production System – Weight, Volume & Overrun

How mix weight, evaporation, overrun, density, inclusions and waste factors become planned quantities, stock deductions, batch yield and packing draws. Covers planning by weight, containers, ingredient limit or product, and why planning, production and packing numbers differ.

How Production & Packing Quantities Work

Learn how ice cream quantities change from mix to container: mix weight, evaporation loss, overrun (air incorporation), inclusions, and how the system calculates backwards from packing needs to recipe amounts.
