Step by step
- 1
Open the needs calculation
Go to the Workshop, then “Replenishment”, and click Work out what a production run needs
- 2
Choose the finished products
One or more finished products and their quantities, then “Calculate”. The calculation relies on recipes: a product without a recipe is flagged and not counted.
- 3
Read the calculated list
The calculation goes all the way down to materials — a gift box calls for the wax of its candles. Each line says whether it is a raw material or a supply, and the “To order” column counts in packs when the pack size is filled in.

Export or create the requests
“Export as PDF” produces the shopping list; “Create replenishment requests” creates one request per material, each one carrying the production that gave rise to it.
What you can do
- The need is gross: stock in reserve is not deducted. The list says what production consumes, not what is left to order — and the PDF states it in black and white.
