Scenario

Beef is needed to produce meatballs.

Track your Ingredients

1. Create Beef individually as separate product & track under Simple Inventory type.

2. Set selling price as 0 since you don't sell Beef.

3. Set the Stock Quantity & Save to complete the settings.

Example: Track the stock quantity based on the amount you have purchased from the supplier by Unit. For this case, key in 50 KG of Beef.

Refer to this article for more details.


Track Ingredients Usage on MeatBalls

1. Create a new product (Meatballs - 6pcs), set the selling price & track under Composite Inventory Type.

Note: Select Save before you proceed to next step. The component table appears upon saving.

2. Add components and link to the Meatballs -6pcs product.

Example:

For this case, we are tracking beef. Add Beef into the component list.

3. Set Default Usage. Default usage refers to the quantity of ingredients needed for a set of Meatballs.

Example:

A set of meatballs consists of 6 pcs, 0.025 KG of Beef is required to produce 1 pc of meatball.

To produce 6 pcs of meatballs - 0.025 KG x 6 pcs = 0.15 KG of Beef is required.

With every sale of Meatballs set, 0.15 KG of Beef will be deducted from the ingredient product (Beef) itself.

Notes:

  • Your default usage does not necessarily have to be a whole number.

  • Do take note that you can only set up to 3 decimal points!

4. Save to complete the settings.


When you sell 1 set of Meatballs (6 pcs), this is how it will reflect in the BackOffice for the ingredient (Beef) you tracked.
