Edit product recipes / bills of materials (BOM) for products to ensure up-to-date component details and quantities. This is essential for maintaining accurate inventory records and adapting to changes in production requirements.
You can edit ingredients and their quantities on each manufacturing order (MO) if you used a different amount of ingredients in production than what is defined in the default product recipe. Read more about MOs.
This guide focuses on editing individual product recipes. If you want to edit recipes in bulk, check out this article.
Changes to the default product recipe of a product won't automatically be applied to open MOs for that product. You can apply changed recipes to selected open MOs in bulk with a few clicks or update MOs one by one.
Editing a Product recipe

Edit the ingredients (materials and subassemblies), quantities, and variant values by clicking on the associated fields. Changes are saved automatically. The unit of measure for quantities can be edited on the connected material or product (i.e. subassembly) cards. Variant option values are only visible if you enabled variants for a product and inserted variant options.
You can replace an existing product recipe with a recipe from another product.

Delete ingredients - Delete the materials and subassemblies from a product recipe by clicking on the trash can icon at the end of an item row. If you want to delete a product's entire product recipe, click the Delete recipe button.
