# How To: Use Ingredients in Production (Assembly)

_By Brandon Munn · Dec 2, 2024_

Once you have started a **Batch**, you will need to record the **Ingredients** you are adding.

Go to **Production → Vessel Summary,** click **Actions** on the relevant **Vessel** and select **Add Ingredients.**

Alternatively, go to **Production → In Progress,** click on the **Batch** to open it and click **Use Ingredient.** You can also access this screen by clicking **View Assembly Record** from the **Vessel Summary.**

1.  Click on \***Stock Item** and select the **Ingredient** you want to add. If you needed to see the expected **Ingredients** for the **Batch,** you can select **View Assembly Record** instead of **Add Ingredients.**
    
2.  If the **Material** is **Batch Tracked,** you will need to select the **Batch Number** you are using or enter one if there are none available in the system.
    
3.  Add the **Quantity** used. The **Remaining Outstanding Qty**
    
4.  If adding the **Ingredient** will materially change the **Volume** in the **Vessel,** tick **Update Vessel Volume.** If adding several **Ingredients** in one go, you may want to do this once after they have all been added.
    
5.  If you would like to override your **Cost Price Per Unit** you will change this before moving ahead. 
    
6.  Click **Next.**
    
7.  If updating the **Vessel Volume,** confirm or edit the **Volume** arriving.
    
8.  Select **Estimated Vessel Volume** if you want the **Vessel Volume** to be estimated from its current **Volume** added to the **Volume Arriving**.
    
9.  Select **Measured Vessel Volume** to allow you to specify an accurately measured figure.
    
10.  Add any notes and confirm the time and date.
     
11.  Click **Add Movement.**
