Add or remove a recipe
Learn how to add, make changes, or remove a recipe for products, variations, or components in Craftybase.
After you've created a product, variation, or component, you can add a recipe at any time. If you need to make changes to a recipe, you can edit or remove it.
To get started, sign in to your Craftybase account and click Products in the main menu. If you're adding or removing a recipe for a component, click Components.
What We'll Cover:
Add a recipe
To add a new recipe:
Choose a product or component from the list.
If you're adding or removing a recipe for a variation of your product, choose Variation in the Display section on the sidebar.
- In the Recipe section, click to add a new recipe.
- Enter how many of this product you can make in a batch and the estimated time it takes to create this batch.
- Add the materials for your recipe using one of the following:
- Add Material: Search for existing materials or add a new material and quantity.
- Copy Recipe From: Search for a product or variation attributes, and copy its recipe.
- Add any notes to your recipe if needed. Then, click Save Recipe.
Currently, Craftybase does not support copying recipes for components. This means you'll need to manually create recipes for each component, as the system doesn't yet allow duplication of existing ones.
We understand how helpful this feature would be for streamlining your workflow, and we want you to know it’s already on our roadmap. This improvement is being considered as part of our broader enhancements to components, and we’re working to prioritize it alongside other updates.
We appreciate your understanding and are excited to share updates as we make progress!
Edit a recipe
To make changes to a recipe:
- Click in the main menu and choose Recipes.
- Open the recipe and click Edit.
- Make changes to the recipe and click Save Recipe.
If you edit a recipe for a product with one or more manufactures, the changes won't affect any existing manufacture material costs. To recalculate your material costs for existing manufactures, remove the manufactures. When you re-add them, Craftybase calculates your material costs based on the revised recipe.
Remove a recipe
To remove a recipe:
- Click on the main menu and choose Recipes.
- Open the recipe and click Edit.
- Click Remove Recipe.
- Click Yes, Remove Recipe to confirm.
When you remove a recipe, this will remove any pricing guidance information for your product. It won't impact how Craftybase calculates your inventory.
If you add a variation to a product, the materials in the product's recipe are automatically copied to the variation's recipe.
