Production - Production orders

Updated over 4 months ago

💡 With a production order in Douano, you create a finished product, such as a beer, gin…, based on a recipe and a production process. Through this process, the required raw materials will be deducted from stock, and the finished product — the beverage — will be added to stock.

💡 You can only create a production order if a recipe for the beverage exists. Need to create a recipe? Follow this 👉 guide.
