Recipes define all of the non-cannabis inputs required to create your products, including ingredients and/or packaging. Once defined, they can be associated with one or more products and can be used when converting in GrowFlow.
Define the recipe based on a single unit to be created
For example, 1g of bulk product or 1 packaged unit
Note: This article assumes you have already created your Non-Cannabis Products and Inventory. If you haven't already, head to Create Non-Cannabis Inventory to learn more before continuing the below processes.
Create Recipes
1. Go to Admin > Products
2. Select the Recipes tab and click +Add
Creating your new recipe:
3. Name the Recipe
4. Assign a Unit of Measure
For informational use only and is based on the cannabis product that the ingredients will be used to create
For Example: For packaged solid items, the unit of measure could be each; for bulk liquid, it could be ml
5. Click Save!
Note: Once saved, the recipe table will sort alphanumerically
6. Now that the recipe is created, we can add the Ingredients by clicking +Add Recipe Ingredients.
7. Select an Ingredient to add from the drop-down list. This list is populated by previously created Non-Cannabis Products.
8. Enter the QTY. As previously stated, this should correspond to a single unit to be created.
9. Click Save!
10. Repeat - Add any additional ingredients to complete the recipe
Note: The Unit of Measure will auto-populate after the Ingredient is saved, defaulting from the Non-Cannabis Ingredient
Note: The Cost will default as the per-unit cost of the oldest inventory on hand for that non-cannabis ingredient
Associating Recipes with Cannabis Products
To associate Recipes with existing Products:
1. Head to Admin > Products > Product Catalog
2. Locate and select the product you'd like to associate with a recipe, then click Edit
3. Assign the Default Recipe for this product by selecting it from the drop-down under the Set Default Recipe field
4. Finish by clicking Modify
To associate Recipes when creating new Products:
1. Head to Admin > Products > Product Catalog
2. Click +Product Creator
3. As part of filling in the necessary fields for the product, select the Recipe from the Default Recipe drop-down.
4. When you're ready, click Create Product
Repeat the above processes for each recipe/product combination you want to define.
Note: Recipes can be used across multiple Products, so long as the quantities represented in the recipe correspond to a single unit of production for each associated product. This is because when the product is created through the Package/Convert tool, the recipe quantities will be multiplied by the quantity of the product you are creating.
For Example: If you use the same size cone for .75g and 1g joints, then both products could share the same recipe calling for 1 cone per unit of production. Whereas, a 5-pack of those joints would require a separate recipe with a default quantity of 5 cones per unit of production.
Great work!
