Recipes
The creation of recipes is achieved by using the Recipes und Recipe Line
maintenance programs. Recipes are relevant only to stock keeping and
administration. During posting of an article which is assigned to a recipe, the
stock level of the components of the recipe will be reduced. Components of a
recipe are normally not sold individually and have no selling price. However,
they have to be created as articles in the system and assigned to a stock
location.
For establishing and calculating the costs of a
recipe, it is mandatory that all components of the recipe exist in the stock
location.
In the following example for the Recipe 550 "Pina
Colada", the setting up of a recipe is illustrated:
Eample:
·
Sales article 550 Pina Colada
·
Recipe article 550 Pina Colada (this is not an article)
1st Recipe component 500 pineapple juice
2nd Recipe component 501 cream
3rd Recipe component 502 coconut milk
4th Recipe component 504 cocktail cherry
5th Recipe component 505 Meyer's Rum
The following also applies:
All articles are purchased from Supplier 1. Stock
location for all articles is Stock Location 1. When this article is posted, the
stock quantities in Stock Location 1 are reduced.
The creation of the recipe is carried out in the
following sequence:
- Create the Stock Table
and assign Stock Types to the table to define
the stock locations.
- Define with the Quantity
Units maintenance program the respective quantity units. Note that
units of the supplier articles, stock articles, and the sales articles
have all to be defined.
- Create the articles 550, 500, 501, 502, 504, and
505 using the Item maintenance program. Note
that only Article 550 is a sales article.
- Create Supplier 1 using the Supplier maintenance program and assign articles
500, 501, 502, 504, and 505 to this supplier. Define the cost prices of
these articles.
- Perform an Order
with Goods Received for the articles 500, 501,
502, 504, and 505. The articles have to be in the stock location, so that
the recipe costs of the assigned recipe lines can be calculated when the
recipes are created.
- Run the Recipes maintenance program and create
Recipe 550 "Pina Colada" with articles 500, 501, 502, 504, and
505 as components and define their respective quantity units. Make sure
that the option "Autom. Production" is activated when the recipe
is defined, so that the stock quantities of the respective components of
the recipe in the assigned stock location are reduced accordingly at
posting time.
- Run the Item maintenance
program and link Recipe 550 to the Sales Article 550. When Article 550 is
posted, the stock quantities defined in the recipe will then be reduced in
the assigned stock location.
