Delete product recipes / bills of materials (BOMs) to ensure that outdated or unnecessary manufacturing components and processes are removed. This helps keep your recipe list clean and relevant, supporting efficient inventory management and production planning.

In Katana, it's easy to delete product recipes for a single product or delete them in bulk for multiple products in only a few clicks.

Note: If the option to create/edit a product recipe isn't available, take a look at this article regarding user permissions.

Deleting a product recipe from a single product

  1. Navigate to the Items screen and select a product. If a product has multiple variants, clicking on any variant of the product will direct you to the product card for all variants.

  2. Click on the Product recipe / BOM tab.

  3. Find Delete recipe from the top corner of the Ingredients table.

If a product has multiple variants, the recipe will be deleted for all of its variants.

Note: If you have open MOs for a product, the product recipe on those MOs won't be deleted. To bulk delete or update a product recipe on existing MOs, click on Update MOs at the bottom of the screen. You can also update MOs individually from the MO card by clicking Refresh data at the bottom of the MO.

Deleting product recipes in bulk for multiple products

  1. Navigate to the Items screen.

  2. Select the products you want to delete the Product recipe / BOM for.

  3. Click the delete icon.
