Food and beverage ERP · Recipe and batch

One approved recipe. The same batch, every shift.

Keep every formula under version control, scale it to any batch size and guide operators step by step on a tablet. Weights, temperatures and CCP checks are recorded as they happen, with cost and yield for every batch.

Electronic batch record

Operators follow the steps. The record writes itself.

Each step shows on a tablet by the line. Weights come from the scale, temperatures from probes, and the CCP step will not close until its limit is met.

Yield and loss

See where the kilos go

From ingredients in to good packs out, every stage is weighed. Loss beyond the expected range is flagged with a reason.

Allergens

Allergens roll up from the ingredients

Each ingredient carries its allergens. The ERP works out every product's allergen list for labels and warns when a line change needs a clean-down. Example products.

FAQ

Recipe and batch questions

Answers for owners, production heads and food technologists.

What is recipe and batch management in a food ERP?

It keeps your recipes (formulas) in one controlled place and turns them into batch orders on the floor. Each batch records what was used, in what quantity, at which step and by whom, so every batch can be repeated and traced.

How does recipe version control work?

Any change to a recipe creates a new version that has to be approved. Old versions stay on record with dates, and each batch shows which version it was made with, which helps in audits and complaints.

Can recipes be scaled to different batch sizes?

Yes. Enter the batch size in kg, litres or units and every ingredient is scaled, rounded to practical weights or full bags where you choose.

How is recipe cost calculated?

From each ingredient's quantity and its latest purchase or average cost, plus packaging, labour and overhead rates if you include them. Cost updates as prices change, so margins stay visible.

Does it work out allergens and nutrition?

Yes. Allergens and nutrition values on each ingredient roll up to the finished product, ready for labels. Your food technologist still reviews and approves the final label.

What is an electronic batch record?

A step-by-step digital record of a batch, filled in on a tablet or scale: weights, times, temperatures, CCP checks and sign-offs. It replaces paper batch sheets and cannot be back-dated.

What is yield and why track it?

Yield is the share of input that ends up as saleable product. Tracking expected against actual yield per batch shows where you lose material, such as moisture loss, spills or rejects.

Is it suitable for pharma or nutraceutical formulas?

The same features cover nutraceuticals and personal care. For regulated pharma, our pharma ERP adds GMP features such as 21 CFR Part 11 style e-signatures.

How long does setup take?

About 5 to 6 weeks, including a pilot line on electronic batch records.
