ATTENTION: If you want to configure the recipe for multiple portions, the unit quantity can only be added after you have added at least 1 raw material to the recipe.
If the product is of the type “I sell it as I buy it”, the selected goods will be deducted from stock.
If the product is of the type “Contains recipe”, then the stock will be reduced by the quantity you chose in the recipe.

This average cost is calculated based on the invoices entered for that good/raw material.
11. Add the price at which you want to sell the product and select the VAT rate at which the product will be sold.
12. Add preferential prices if the selling price differs from one location to another (optional), or if you want the price to change automatically starting from a certain date.
