Log the run. The rest follows.
One entry deducts materials, adds finished goods and stamps the batch with its true cost — including the ones still on the cure rack.

“Can I make this?”, answered before you start
Pick a recipe version and a target quantity, and Batchmade checks every material against the shelf as it stands right now. Any shortfall is shown in kilograms, not adjectives — and nothing is created until the check passes.

One entry moves stock and cost together
Starting a run pins the recipe version and the workflow version at that moment, so the batch keeps its own record of what it was made from. Every run holds an immutable journal of what actually happened.

Build the path your batches actually take
Ordered stages, each declaring its stock effect — reserve, consume, or receive finished goods — with one stage marked as finishing the run. Publishing seals the version permanently; in-flight runs stay pinned to the one they started on.

The rack remembers, so you don’t have to
Stages carry a minimum and maximum rest time. Notifications fire on entering or leaving a stage, at minimum dwell, or when something is overdue — routed to the maker, in-app or by email.

Each batch carries its own cost basis forward
Inputs consumed, output received, and unit cost on both costing bases — per run, with a full breakdown. Finished goods sit in their own lots, separate from material stock, and this is the number that follows them into a sale.
