How Do I Connect a Recipe or Bill of Materials to Inventory Consumption?
You connect a recipe to consumption by defining the exact materials and quantities each finished product requires, so producing one unit automatically deducts the right amount of each material. On Jestor, this runs through PCP with recipe-linked inventory.
Deducting raw materials manually every time a batch is produced, based on a recipe kept separately on paper, is slow and prone to a calculation mistake that throws off the stock count.
What manual recipe-based deduction costs
- Time spent manually calculating and deducting each material after every batch
- Risk of a calculation error throwing off the actual stock count over time
- Recipes kept on paper, disconnected from the actual inventory system
- Inconsistency in deduction accuracy depending on who's doing the calculation
How recipe-connected consumption works
- Each finished product's recipe defines exact materials and quantities required
- Producing a batch automatically deducts the correct material amounts
- The deduction happens consistently, without manual calculation each time
- Stock counts for raw materials stay accurate as production continues
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automatic deduction removes the manual calculation and its risk of error
- Consistent accuracy applies regardless of who's running the production
- Connecting the recipe to the system replaces a paper-based, disconnected process
- This scales from a simple product line to a complex multi-recipe operation

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a recipe include multiple raw materials in different quantities? Yes, a recipe can define any number of materials and their required amounts. More at jestor.com.
Does this work for products with variable batch sizes? Yes, deduction scales proportionally to the actual batch size produced.
Can recipes be updated if the formula changes? Yes, recipes remain editable as products evolve.
