Recipes / BOM
Define what goes into your finished goods.
What are Recipes?
A recipe (or Bill of Materials) defines the ingredients and quantities needed to produce one unit of a finished good. Recipes can reference specific items or generic items — when a generic is used, the production system resolves it to the best available child item at order time.

Why It Matters
Recipes are the bridge between purchasing and production. Without them, you can't calculate how much raw material you need, what it costs to make something, or whether you have enough stock to run a production order. They're also the foundation for MRP demand calculations.
