A recipe BOM turns a food formula into a production-ready plan. It tells purchasing what to buy, stores what to issue, production what to consume, quality what to check, and costing what one saleable unit should cost.
What the recipe should control
| Recipe field | How the factory uses it |
|---|---|
| Batch size and output UOM | Scale a standard recipe to the planned run |
| Ingredient lines | Plan exact material requirements in each valid UOM |
| Yield and process loss | Compare expected output with actual saleable output |
| Version and approval | Ensure production uses the released formula |
| Packaging BOM | Plan bottles, pouches, labels, cartons, and closures |
| Quality points | Record in-process and final checks against the batch |
Plan in the unit production actually uses
Ingredients may be purchased in bags, stored in kilograms, and dosed in grams. Each recipe line needs a real unit and conversion path. The production plan converts demand into the BOM unit before quantities are combined, so 29,000 g and 29 kg produce the same material requirement.
Connect recipe, batch, and pack size
Create the approved recipe, select it on the production order, issue ingredient lots, record actual consumption and output, then move released bulk product into the packaging flow. Pack-size BOMs consume the right container, label, closure, and carton for the finished SKU.
