Recipe / Bill of Materials ( BoM )

In an advanced inventory system stores may need to track finished items (Cooked foods) produced from raw materials ( ingredients). Bars can also track cocktails from different types of wines.

What is Recipe in POS

Recipes are list of items and quantities with instructions written as a note. To create a recipe store needs to create Finished items and Raw materials in their inventory database. In the following example to produce Martini, Store needs to create two raw materials: Gin and Dry vermouth. To configure a recipe store also need to create relevant units of measurements like Oz.
