3 ways to add Ingredients (Raw Materials):

1. [ Stock > Ingredient List > Add Ingredient ].
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.
• Group.
• 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.
• Storage Location.

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