Learn to run recipes and create batches for your inventory using the Recipe Batches function in Dutchie POS.
After you have created a recipe you can use the Recipe Batches function to run recipes and create batches for your inventory.
Things to consider
- Before running recipe batches you’ll need to create the recipe or use a preexisting recipe, see Create a recipe.
- When using inventory with multiple packages Dutchie will deduct inventory from the smaller package first.
