You can print a manufacturing order (MO) with or without cost details, or as a pick list. This is useful for floor operators, inventory handlers, or for recordkeeping. All MO printouts can also be saved as PDFs.

How to print manufacturing orders in bulk
Go to the Make screen.
Select the MOs you'd like to print.
Click the Print icon at the top of the screen.
Choose the desired print template from the dropdown (e.g., MO, Pick list, MO excl. cost).
A PDF will open in a new tab — each MO will appear on a separate page in the document.

Optional: Use a consolidated pick list
Instead of individual ingredient lists per MO, select multiple MOs and group the items into a single list.
This consolidated list combines identical ingredients and quantities across all selected MOs.
Great for planning bulk picks or prepping kits.
