Introduction

This article contains information on creating yield products within Centegra Plus as part of the Inventory Management module. A "yield" recipe product is one which:

• Contains one ingredient based on an expected yield ratio, which converts a product from one state to another state. (e.g., converts Raw Beef to Cooked Beef, or converts Dry Rice to Boiled Rice.)
• Is not typically sold, as it exists only to user as an ingredient within other recipe products. 

A yield recipe product does not include the scenarios listed below:

• A standard saleable recipe. For setting up these products, Click Here. 
• Yield recipes required for the Product Preparations feature, as these should be stock type Preparation. For setting up Preparation products, Click Here.
• Recipes that representing batches made up as part of kitchen production (when not using the Product Preparations feature). For setting up these products, Click Here.

Creating A Yield Recipe Product

Create The Product

Yield recipes are typically only required in Centegra Plus, so are created as brand new products directly within Centegra Plus.

To create the yield product:  

• Head to Product Management > Products.
• Select [NEW CENTEGRA PLUS PRODUCT]. 

In the New Product page, enter:

• Long Product Name: Enter the name of the product. (Recommendation: Prefix this with "Yield")
• Short Product Name: Copy the name of the product into this field. 
• Code: Enter your own code for the product. (If one is not required, copy the auto-generated PLU.)
• Stock Master Group: Select the master group that contains the stock group that the product should report to.
• Stock Group: Then select the stock group that the product should repot to. 
• Stock Type: Select Recipe. 

Then select [CREATE & ADD MORE DETAIL].

Define The Yield Recipe Sizing

Once the yield product has been created, you need to define the yield product sizing within the Product Sizing section of the Product Detail tab. There are three sizing units that need defining: 

• Base Unit Size
• Receiving Unit Size
• Stocking Unit Size

First, define the the Base Unit Size. This must be exactly the same as the Base Unit Size of the product that will be linked to this yield recipe. 

To update the Base Unit Size: 

• Base Unit Name: Against the existing base unit name, select [EDIT].
• Base Unit Name: Enter the description of the products base unit.
• Select [UPDATE UNIT NAME]. 

Next, skip a row and define the Receiving Unit Size. This must be exactly the same as the Base Unit Size entered above.

To update the Receiving Unit Size: 

• Receiving Unit Name: Change the name to match the Base Unit Name entered above.
• Receiving Units: Enter a quantity of 1.

Next, go back up a row and define the Stocking Unit Size. This must also be exactly the same as the Base Unit Size entered above.

To update the Stocking Unit Size: 

• Stocking Unit Name: Change the name to match the Base Unit Name entered above.
• Stocking Units: Enter a quantity of 1.

Finally, check that the Display Unit is set as Receiving. This is essential for yield recipe products.  

Review the Product Sizing Sanity Check to make sure that the sizing makes sense, and once checked, select [SAVE & REMAIN]. 

Link The Ingredient To The Yield Product & Define The Yield Ratio

The final step is to link the ingredient to the yield product within the Recipes tab.

First, check the Recipe In Size at the top correctly matches the Base Unit Name of the ingredient that you are about assign to this yield recipe product.

This should reflect the description of the Receiving Unit Name entered in the previous step. 

As a yield recipe product is designed to account for the increase/decrease in weight of a specific product as part of kitchen production, a yield recipe would typically only have one ingredient. 

To link the ingredient, select [NEW RECIPE ITEM]. 

In the blank row that is added at the bottom: 

• Recipe Component: Select the ingredient from the list.
• Quantity: Enter the product yield ratio. (Click Here for details on calculating yield ratio, if required.) 

For reference only, the following information is also shown: 

• Unit Cost: Displays the cost of one unit of the ingredient, based on the Unit Size shown.
• Cost Net: Displays the total net cost of the ingredient within this recipe based on the quantity.
• Type: Displays the ingredients stock type. (Ingredients can be supplied stock or other recipes.) 

Once the ingredient has been added, select [SAVE & EXIT]. 

Updating An Existing Product Yield 

The yield ratio quantity of a yield recipe product can be adjusted if required. 

To update a yield recipe product: 

• Head to Product Management > Products. 
• Perform a search to locate the required product, and then select [EDIT] then [PRODUCT]. 
• Select the Recipes tab. 

Against the ingredient within the Recipes tab:

• Quantity: Update the quantity to reflect the new yield ratio. (Click Here for details on calculating yield ratio, if required.) 

Select [SAVE & EXIT]. 

Deleting A Yield Recipe Product

Yield recipe products within Centegra Plus can be marked as deleted if no longer part of Inventory. 

A yield recipe product is essentially a recipe product within Centegra Plus, therefore the deletion process is the same as deleting a standard recipe product. For more details on how to do this, Click Here.
