Generating Production Reports

  • Use the Enter Production Reports button to generate production sheets like Baker’s Sheet or Detailed Production Sheet. These reports show what needs to be produced per department, per product, or even products to slice based on your planned run

  • See the Enter Production section of our related article Production Reports Overview for further information.

Posting Production

  • Once production is complete, post the run to lock in numbers and update inventory. FlexiBake will consume raw materials and add finished products to your stock automatically—provided inventory levels are sufficient

Warning: You cannot post production if you have raw material shortages. Review your ingredient stock before attempting to post production or see our related article Toggle Raw Material Consumption in Enter Production
