To edit a recipe, you must:

1. Select the recipe from the list to access its advisory view.

Assign a category

Assigning a category to a recipe makes it easier to find it in a list. => See article “ Configure your categories of articles and recipes ”
 

You must therefore choose from among the proposals displayed in the "Category" drop-down selector of the first block of information, which will have been configured upstream.

Integrate ingredients or intermediate recipes into a recipe

Once you have filled in the information in the identification block, you can proceed to the integration of the products (articles, sub-recipes) in the recipe you are composing. 

To add ingredients / recipes to your recipe, you must:

1. Go to the “ Composition of the recipe ” block

2. Click on “ Search and add an article or a recipe ”

3. Enter the name of the product (articles, sub-recipes) you want to add (The more precise the name of your product, the faster you will find it.

Manage recipe units

If you are creating a recipe for the first time, it is advisable to read the FoodMeUp Unit System article first.

First, select all the standard units of weight and volume that will be useful in the use of this recipe in the different contexts (production, sale ...)

Also find in the table, the Recipe and Portion units if you have applied a portioning rule to your recipe.

Finally, you can create completely customizable and flexible units (ex: a ramekin of creme brulee, etc.)

Manage the sales units of the recipe

If your recipe is ready to serve and therefore destined to be sold, you must indicate a sales unit. That is, the list of all the packaging that will potentially be used when selling your recipe. This makes it possible to obtain the calculation of its gross margin and to seek to optimize it.

---------------
For example:

The “raspberry pie” recipe is sold by the pie or by the portion, ie the “piece of pie”. A pie contains 6 portions. A selling price is fixed for the part of the pie and the whole pie. Let's imagine: € 2.50 per share and € 10.50 for the whole pie. Here the margin made for the part and the whole pie is not linear. To take this difference into account, it is necessary to manage these elements with different units.

To add a sales unit, you must:

1. Go into the block " sales information "

2. Click on “ Add a sales unit ”

3. Select a unit (or create a new unit on the same basis as the production unit)

4. Indicate a sale price

5. Indicate the applicable VAT
