You should have a read of the following Topic as it explains the same scenario as above in greater detail:

You should probably set it up something like the following, which is explained above as Meatballs or Chili:

  • create Inventory Items for Beef Stew Meat, Oil, Onion, Garlic, Rice, etc. Ensure the Base Unit for these Items are the smallest unit of measure for anything that you will prepare (ie. Ounce, mL, Gram, Clove, etc.)

  • create an Inventory Product that will handle the Beef Recipe. Name Product something like “Curry Beef”.

  • add 2 Portions to the Inventory Product. One will be something like “Batch” and the other will be “Serving” (or similar) - the idea being that the “Serving” Portion will represent a small Unit of measure like an Ounce or Cup.

  • create a Recipe for the “Curry Beef.Batch” Inventory Product which contains the Ingredients selected from Inventory Items (ie. Meat, Oil, Onions, etc.)

  • create a Recipe for the “Curry Beef.Serving” Inventory Product which contains the Ingredients selected from the “Curry.Beef.Batch” Inventory Product (ie. 1/10 of a Batch such as 0.10 Batch)

  • create a Recipe for your “Beef Curry” Menu Item Product using the “Curry Beef.Serving” Inventory Product and the Rice Inventory Item.
