# Batch Production - How To: Add and Use Ingredients from Stock

_By Brandon Munn · Jan 6, 2025_

### **Adding Ingredients:**

Once you have started a **Batch**, if you wish to record additional **Ingredients** you are adding you will need to do the following.

Go to **Production → Batches → In progress,** click on the **Batch** to open it and then click into the relevant process. Click **Add Ingredient.** 

Alternatively, go to **Production - Vessel Summary,** click **Actions** on the relevant **Vessel** and select **Add Ingredient.**

### **Using Ingredients:**

There are two ways you can use ingredients; 

-   The first way is in bulk, to do this go to **Production** → **Batches** → **In Progress** and select your batch to open.
    
-   Open the relevant process and select **Bulk Use Ingredient**.
    
-   You can adjust the amount used of each ingredient by editing the “Qty to Use” column
    
-   Click **Use All Ingredients** or **tick** the certain ingredients you wish to use. 
    

It is key to note, if you do not have the available stock, bulk using the ingredient will not have any effect meaning you will need to revert to the next point of using the ingredient manually.

-   The second option is to use the ingredients manually. To do this go to **Production** → **Batches** → **In Progress** and select your batch to open.
    
-   Open the relevant process and click on the **3 dots** of the ingredient.
    
-   Select **Use Ingredient From Stock** and enter the amount used before clicking Save.

Both ways will give you the option to update the vessel volume based on the quantities used. If you tick this you will then get a second prompt to add volume to the vessel, you will need to select what vessel you want to use and then if you need to you can amend the measured volume in the tank on arrival.
