Manually Generate a Recipe Work Order

The work order style that will be generated is based on the style set on the Instructions tab of the recipe itself. For more information, please see our associated tutorial Set Default Work Order Style for Recipe.

Work orders are a very helpful resource for your production personnel: these handy documents are adjustable for the size of batch being made, and list the ingredients required and the instructions to produce the recipe. There are even spaces where your staff can record the lot numbers of the raw materials used. The information and presentation of the work orders vary between the different styles. We recommend that you take a look at all of them and find which one works best for your staff and your recipes.
