A Prep List maintains a list of prep recipes that will deplete ingredients from inventory once built. When you run a Prep Build, reciProfity removes the raw ingredients used in the prep recipe from inventory. For example, building 20 gallons of tomato sauce will deplete all ingredients used in that prep recipe.
You can also create Requisitions for prep recipes and run the Prep Build directly from the requisition list by staging those recipes in the Prep List.
About the Prep List
- The Prep List is a cart that stages requisitioned prep recipes until you're ready to build.
- You can keep the list open and build recipes as needed.
- You can maintain the list for recipes you build regularly.
- Requisitions convert to the Prep List but do not deplete ingredients until you perform a Prep Build.
Steps To Use the Prep List and Build Prep Recipes
Before You Begin: Explode Prep Recipes Setting
This setting controls whether prep recipes break down into ingredients during requisitions, prep builds, and sales mix. Enable it if you want inventory tracked at the ingredient level.
- Start by creating the prep recipes you want to build.
-
Open Requisition for Prep Recipes: Edit a prep recipe and click Tools > Requisition. This creates and opens a new requisition.
- Click the Prep Recipes tab.
- This will display all prep recipes waiting to be built.
- Add all or selected prep recipes to the Prep List basket.
- When ready to build, click the Prep List basket at the top of the screen.
- Choose individual recipes or click the topmost checkbox to select all.
- Click the Build button, enter a name and date for the build, then click Build again to complete.
- From the sidebar menu, click Prep Builds to view completed builds.
⚠️Note: If Explode Prep Recipes is ON, nested prep recipes will break down into their individual ingredients when you complete the build. If OFF, prep recipes remain intact.
