# Recipe Products A **Recipe Product** is a product that is made up of multiple components (ingredients or items) and is designed for situations where selling the finished product should also deduct the required quantities of each component from inventory. It’s especially useful for foodservice or retail where products are built from ingredients or parts, and you need accurate stock tracking. **Key Features** 1. **Defined Components (Ingredients)** * A Recipe Product has a list of items (with specific quantities) that make up the final product. * Example: A “Burger” recipe might include a bun, patty, lettuce, onion, tomato and sauce. 2. **Automatic Inventory Deduction** * When you sell a Recipe Product, Supply’d automatically deducts the right amounts of each ingredient from stock. * This keeps inventory levels accurate without manual adjustments. 3. **Cost Tracking** * The cost of the Recipe Product is calculated from the costs of its components. * This helps with pricing, profit analysis, and cost control. 4. **Flexibility** * Recipe Products can be used in sales orders, production runs, or bundled with other items. * Great for cafes or restaurants who need to manage raw materials and finished goods. **For Example:** A burger can be made up of: * 1 × 50g Burger Bun * 1 × 86g Beef Patty * 20g Lettuce * 20g Tomato * 30ml Burger Sauce This document takes you through the process of adding a **Recipe Product**. {% hint style="info" %} 👉 For details on adding other types of products, please refer to the [adding-and-updating-products](https://help.supplyd.co/products/adding-and-updating-products "mention") and the [](https://help.supplyd.co/products/product-types "mention") documents. {% endhint %} *** ## Creating a Recipe Product {% hint style="warning" %} Before adding a Recipe product, you must first set up the individual components/products that will be included in it. In our example below, we are creating a Burger that is made up: * 1 × Burger Bun * 1 × Beef Burger Patty * Cos Lettuce * Tomato * Burger Sauce So we have set all these up as individual products in Supply’d. {% endhint %} {% stepper %} {% step %} #### Open the Products Page Select **Products** from the main menu.

1. To add items to a recipe, click **Edit Items**.
\ You will be prompted to save your product before adding/editing any items. Click .

2. The **Edit Recipe Items** form will open.
3. Click on, or type in, the field that says **Type Product Name** to display a list of your products and ingredients.\ \ For our example of a Classic Beef Burger, we need to add a bun, a burger, lettuce, tomato and burger sauce. In the example below, we are adding the bun.
Select the first item and click .
\ A form will open for you to add the quantity.
4. Complete the fields as follows:
\ \ **Quantity** How much of this item is used in this stage. For example, you use 20g of a 100g lettuce in this stage. The Quantity would be 0.2.\
**Measurement** How much of this item is used in this stage. For example, you use 20g of lettuce in this stage.

You can enter the amount here and the Quantity will automatically calculate for you.

\ The top fields display the total size and cost of the recipe. As you add items, these figures update to show the combined size and cost.
5. Repeat the above steps for all items in the recipe.
6. Click to add all the selected items to the recipe.
The items will appear in the **Recipe Items** section with the amount and cost of each item used and the total **Recipe Cost**.
*** #### Additional Options for Recipe Items Prior to saving, or when editing the **Recipe Items**, clicking on the 3 dots in the top right will display a menu.
**Save Items** Saves the recipe items. This is an alternative to using the button at the bottom of the page.
**Copy Items From** The **Copy Items From** option lets you copy recipe items and their quantities from an existing product into the current recipe product. This is helpful when creating a new recipe that is similar to an existing one. Instead of manually adding each recipe item, you can select an existing product and automatically duplicate its items. Once copied, you can adjust the quantities or remove items as needed to match the new recipe. Benefits: * Saves time by copying items and quantities from an existing recipe. * Reduces errors and ensures consistency. * Makes it easy to create similar recipe products quickly. Example: You already have a recipe product called “**Cheeseburger**” that includes: * 1 × 50g Burger Bun * 1 × 86g Beef Patty * 20g Lettuce * 20g Tomato * 20g Cheese * 30g Onion * 20ml Burger Sauce When creating the new recipe product called "**Classic Beef Burger**", you can use the **Copy Items From** option to copy all items and quantities from the original recipe. You then simply add or adjust items (for example, remove the cheese and onion, and change the sauce quantity) instead of building the recipe from scratch.
1. Click on, or type in, the **Copy From Product\*** field to show a list of your products to choose from, eg. Cheeseburger. 2. Click to add these items to the current recipe. 3. You will be asked to confirm as this will override any items you may have already entered. 4. Edit any changes required after the items have been copied.
**Import Items** Selecting this opens the **Import Production Items** form allowing you to upload a list of production items from a CSV file, instead of entering them one by one. This is a quick way to set up or update items in bulk, especially helpful when working with a large number of products.
1. Click **Download the template**. The **Export Production Items** form will open.\
2. Select **Sample Data** from the **Data Source** menu and click to download the template.
3. Open the template in a spreadsheet application such as Excel or Numbers and complete the fields in the spreadsheet.
{% hint style="warning" %} You should remove the sample products from the file before importing it into Supply’d to prevent them from being added to your bundle. {% endhint %}
4. Once completed, export or save the file as a **CSV** (comma-separated values) file.
5. Return to Supply’d, open the **Import Production Items**, upload the completed CSV file, click and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm the import.
6. After the import completes, review the details to ensure the information has been imported correctly and make any changes required.
👉 The import process is explained in more detail in the [Production Items](https://help.supplyd.co/production/creating-a-production-product#production-items) section of the [Creating a Production Product](https://help.supplyd.co/production/creating-a-production-product) document.
