Two systems for one inventory = double the work
Track raw materials and finished goods in one system. Receive ingredients, run production, and track output — all connected.
Separate systems mean duplicated effort and mismatched numbers
You track ingredients in one place and finished products in another. Data gets duplicated, numbers don't match, and nobody trusts either system.
- Raw materials and finished goods in separate systems
- Double data entry when production converts one to the other
- No automatic connection between input and output
One system that handles both sides of your inventory — connected through production.
If you produce finished goods — packaged products, prepped items, batch recipes — you need to track both what goes in (raw materials) and what comes out (finished goods). Recipe Cost Calculator supports both in the same inventory system.
Receive raw materials, use them in production plans, and the system creates finished goods inventory automatically. Track quantities, lot numbers, and values for both sides of your operation in one place.
What you get
Both sides connected
Raw materials in, finished goods out. The system tracks the conversion through production plans.
One source of truth
No more reconciling two systems.
Complete cost visibility
See the full cost of finished goods from raw material prices through production.
How it works
Set up both inventory types
Define which items are raw materials and which are finished goods.
Receive and produce
Receive raw materials. Run production plans that consume materials and produce finished goods.
Track everything
Quantities, values, and lot numbers for both types in one system.
Why this matters
Both sides of your inventory, one system.
Managing raw materials and finished goods in separate systems (or spreadsheets) means double the work and twice the chance of errors. Having both in Recipe Cost Calculator keeps your production flow connected from receiving through to finished product.
