# Batch Production - How To: Record Vessel Maintenance

_By Brandon Munn · Feb 27, 2025_

Once you have emptied and removed a **Vessel** from a **Batch,** you can record a **Maintenance Process** against it. This is commonly used by BrewMan customers to maintain cleaning records in the system for health and safety or food standards audits.

Please see the New Production Setup Guide **here** for details on creating maintenance recipes.

If a maintenance process is due on a **Vessel,** a red warning icon will appear and warn you before using it for a new **Batch.** How often the process is due must be specified in **Maintenance Settings** for this to occur.

Go to **Production** - **Vessel Summary,** click **Actions** on the relevant **Vessel** then select **Start a Maintenance Process or Start for the Due clean.**

On the **Maintenance Process** screen:

Use the ingredients (if necessary) and complete any instructions given. Finally, once everything is complete you can click the **complete process** button.
