Note:
There is also a separate tutorial, Using the yield rate on supplier articles, which explains how to apply a loss at the supplier article level, when purchasing.

The method described here works differently: it applies the loss on the recipe.

Optimize the management of gross and net weight losses when converting your ingredients by creating recipes.

  1. Create a "Net Salmon" recipe:

    • For the product "Salmon" with a 20% loss, create a recipe called "Net Salmon".

    • Set the storage packaging to 0.8 kg (calculated by subtracting 20% loss from the initial weight of 1 kg, i.e., 1 kg - 20% = 0.8 kg).

    • Add 1 kg of "Salmon" as an ingredient in this recipe.

  2. Automatic Application of the 20% Loss:

    • Once the "Net Salmon" recipe is created, use it in each of your dishes to automatically apply the 20% loss.

  3. Analysis of Actual Consumption:

    • Monitor the actual consumption of the "Salmon" product compared to your forecasts.

    • Access the "Analysis" module on the "Recipe Consumption / Sales" page for detailed data.

By adopting this approach, you optimize the management of weight losses during ingredient conversions, while facilitating the tracking of actual consumption through the dedicated analysis module.
