2. Stock › Ingredient List › Batch Edit › Add Ingredient.
3. Import a batch of ingredients on this template (Accessible in Stock › Ingredient List › More › Import).

One ingredient may have more than one variation, e.g. purchased from different suppliers or different pack sizes.

When adding ingredients the following information is crucial for proper stock management.

• Name.

• Correct calculation of the price per UoM.
• Conversion to gram and default UoM.
• Supplier/Vendor.
• Order lead time.
• Shelf life (days).
• Legacy code, Accounting Code, and Tax on purchase.

The more thorough the initially entered information is, the easier operations will be going forward – e.g. add variations, allergens, etc.
