Production Settings
Managing production settings and defaults in Supply'd optimises production runs, reduces errors, and improves efficiency, leading to cost savings and faster output.
In Production Settings you can set production defaults and preferences, such as, assigning batches, default allergens, production locations, batch code formats, and labour tracking. You also have the option of creating your own custom fields to suit your company's requirements.
