Ingredient Setup

  • Updated

In order to build recipes, add inventory, or have ingredients populate in drop-downs on POs and more you need to have an ingredient database built. You can build this list by building it manually, importing your ingredient list, importing your recipes, or importing your raw material inventory. 

 

Pro Tip: To make getting started with Ollie Ops easy, we suggest importing your raw material inventory to set up your ingredient database list, as well as importing your recipes (if applicable).

 

You can learn more about importing your raw material inventory, here.
