# How To: Output from Vessels (Assembly) _By Brandon Munn · Dec 2, 2024_ Once you have finished making a **Batch** you will need to record in the system what has been produced. You can either **Output** to a **Package**, **Stock** or a **new or existing Batch.** Go to **Production → Vessel Summary,** click **Actions** on the relevant **Vessel.** From here you can output from the vessel or open the **Assembly Record** and then select **Add Output,** you will need to have a **Start Date** for the assembly to begin an output. ### **Output to Packaging:** 1. Select **Package.** 2. Select the **Recipe** you are outputting to, this will fill the next two fields.  3. Confirm that the measurement for each unit of the **Product** is correct. For example, 0.5L would be needed for a 1x500ml Bottle of IPA. 4. Under the “output detail” section, use the drop-down bar to select to output by either **Quantity from the Assembly or Units to Create.**  5. Ensure the units of the **Product** you expect to make is correct, the system will suggest an estimate based on the **Output Quantity** and **Material Required per Unit.** 6. Next is the way you want cost price to be calculated, you can choose one of three; **Your Own Custom Cost Price, The Unit of Cost of Used Ingredients or The Current Product Unit Cost Price.** 7. Tick whether to multiply the Ingredient Quantities from the **Packaging** process by the **Expected Output**. For example, if one bottle and one cap is needed for one unit of 500ml IPA. The system will assume 100 of each are needed to output the 100 units.  8. Tick whether you want to update the **Vessel Volume** to reflect the movement/loss of liquid when moving to **Packaging.**  9. To add your **Output** to an existing assembly, if you already have started bottling and want to add more units, click **Add to Existing Assembly** and select the relevant **Batch/Assembly** from the drop-down.  10. Click **Save**.  11. If updating the **Vessel Volume,** confirm the **Vessel** it is leaving, the **Volume Leaving** and either the **Estimated or Measured Volume.** 12. Select whether you want to include the **Vessel Movement**. Also add any **Notes** and the **Date of Movement**.  13. Click **Add Movement.** ![](https://vault.featureos.app/uploads/attachment/upload/8955b9200a3d69db48b45cb752970c4a.png) If you now want to complete your **Packaging Process**, you will need to specify how many **Materials** were used as well as printing labels or **Racking** as required. Go to **Production → In Progress** and Search or **Filter/Sort** for the **Assembly** and click to **Open.** 1. Specify the **Best Before Date** for the items. 2. Click **Bulk Use Ingredient** and specify how much of each **Material** was used, including any wastage such as broken items or spillage. This can be done by clicking on the **Quantity to Use** and typing in the amount.  3. Complete any **Process Instructions** or record **Quality Control** as required. 4. Once ready, scroll down and click **Add Output.** Select **Move to Stock,** input the amount that was created and how many are going to stock. Click **Save.** If your Product is **Traceable or Returnable**, you can then **Print Labels** or use **Racking**. Please see the full guides for more help with this. ### **Output to Stock** Instead of moving your completed Batch to Packaging, you can move it into bulk stock as a completed Material. On the Add Output screen: 1. Select **Move to Stock.** 2. Enter the **Quantity to Output.** 3. Select if you want to **Update the Vessel Volume** to reflect the loss of liquid and click **Save.** 4. Choose the vessel to update and edit the **Remaining Expected Output** if different to the estimated amount.  5. If updating **Vessel Volume,** confirm the **Volume Leaving** and either the **Estimated or Measured Volume.** 6. Add any **Movement Notes** and the **Date of Movement.** 7. Click **Add Movement.** ![](https://vault.featureos.app/uploads/attachment/upload/2d93d249c9f1ccb279800881bf2c519b.png)![](https://vault.featureos.app/uploads/attachment/upload/55340afd18829f319f786ae826115f3d.png) ### **Outputting to a Batch** You can instead move your **Batch** as an **Ingredient** of a new **Batch** or you can move it to combine it with another existing **Batch**. For example, you have completed the process of making unflavoured Gin and now you want to move it as an ingredient for your Pink Gin. From within the assembly, select add output and then: 1. Select **Move to Batch.** _If you are wanting to add this output to an existing assembly/batch follow the steps with the (_) symbol below. If you are wanting to create a new assembly/batch with this output skip this and go right to the numbered steps without the asterisk (\*). 2. Click **Add to Existing Assembly.** 3. Select the **Batch** to include this movement too. 4. Input the **Quantity** you are moving, whether you want to **Update the Vessel Volume** and chose the **Cost Price** you want to use. 5. Click **Save.** ![](https://vault.featureos.app/uploads/attachment/upload/5f7bb2b466a7a817bb02f332744e413d.png) 1. Enter the **Recipe** you are outputting as well as the **Required Per Unit** in litres.  2. Enter the **Quantity** leaving and this will include your **Expected Output** from New Assembly. If you lost some liquid whilst moving you can override the expected output and type in what has actually been output.  3. Tick whether you want to update the **Vessel Volume** to reflect the loss of the liquid. 4. Click **Save.** 5. If updating the **Vessel Volume**, confirm the **Volume Leaving** the **Vessel** chosen and either the **Estimated or Measured Volume.** 6. Click if you want to Include the **Vessel Movement,** add any **Movement Notes** and enter the **Movement Date.** 7. Click **Add Movement.** This **Batch** will now appear as an **Ingredient** in the **Assembly** you have moved it to. ![](https://vault.featureos.app/uploads/attachment/upload/d06c94ecf6f5a8dd25ab1d26706d59d5.png) [View this article on the web](https://premier-systems-ltd.featureos.help/en/articles/how-to-output-from-vessels)
