Plan a bake from selected orders

Open Plan a bake

Plan a bake begins by selecting the orders to combine into production and shopping quantities.

From Recipes & Costs > Plan a bake, choose the orders you expect to make together. The page shows selected orders before building the projection.

1. Select the relevant open orders.
2. Review Products to make and total sellable units.
3. Review rounded Recipe batches, ingredient demand, tracked on-hand balances, shortages, packages to buy, and estimated spend.
4. Download the prep & shopping PDF when the projection is complete.

Plan a bake rounds each reusable recipe once for planning. Fulfillment does not use those rounded amounts; it consumes exact order-time production snapshots.

What customers see

Nothing changes on the storefront when you build a bake plan. It is an internal production and shopping view.

Common problems

• The plan cannot be built: set up each product’s recipe and costs, then refresh.
• Demand is higher than expected: check variant units-per-sale and form-option conditions.
• Stock is not deducted as expected: planning reads tracked pantry balances; fulfillment consumption is a separate order-completion event.
• A completed order is missing: review the order selection and any snapshot/reconciliation warning.

Next steps

• Set up product formulations
• Review cost completeness
