A recipe (or bill of materials) lists the raw materials that go into a finished good. Recipes are for businesses that make what they sell — a bakery turning flour and sugar into bread, or a kitchen assembling dishes.
Recipes are part of the Recipes / BOM feature. If it’s not in your sidebar, your plan may not include it — see Subscription & licensing.

​
Before you start

Set up your products with the right product types:
  • The ingredients should be Raw material products.
  • The item you produce should be a Finished good product.

How recipes affect stock

When you record production from a recipe, TillBiz reduces the raw-material stock and increases the finished-good stock — keeping both accurate without manual adjustments.
Recipe costing rolls up the cost of ingredients into the finished good, so you can see the true margin on items you make yourself in your financial reports.
