Company Settings - Production Options

Production Tab:

The Production Tab will only display if you enable the Production Features option on the Recipe Item Tab in Company Settings. Production is a way to track the quantity or "batches" made and used for a Recipe Item you prepare.  If a Recipe Item is flagged for production, it becomes a "Production Item".

Typically, Production Items are recipes you prepare in advance, in a batch size larger than a single portion, and then use in smaller portions in recipes for items you sell. For more information on Production, please click this link to Production Items - FAQs. An example of the Production Tab in Company Settings is shown below:
