Recipes
Build each product's bill of materials — components, yield, labor minutes, overhead and wastage — and read its live per-unit cost.
- TUTORIAL: Introduction to recipes
About 20 minutes, as a soap maker: turn a Lavender Soap Bar into a recipe with components, yield, labor and overhead, read its live cost and save version 1.
- About recipes (bills of materials)
What a recipe is in Trackost, how one run's materials, labor and yield become a cost per unit, and why every save creates a new version.
- Build a recipe
Open a product's recipe, add the components one run uses, set the yield and labor minutes, check the live cost and save version 1.
- Edit a recipe (saving creates a new version)
Change a recipe's components, yield, labor or overhead, see what v2 active means, and why batches you already made keep their old cost.
- Set yield, labor minutes and overhead
How the yield divides a run's cost, how labor minutes are priced at your labor rate, and where the optional overhead per run shows up, and where it doesn't.
