Recipe Calculation for variations

[MetaEMK]

e.g. different sizes for cakes

Are there different settings for the calculation for recipes (round and edgy)? -calc presets

How to handle bread (no different sizes)?

After discussion with customer:

For each recipe you should be able to create different variants with different ingredients and ingredient quantities.

The customers need a program which can calculate recipes in 2 different ways:

1: Normal Calculation:

• The recipe is added so that at the end you get 1 finished product. And we just need to multiply this.

2. Bread Calculation: In this calculation, the recipe is given so that 1kg of dough. At the end, the user then enters the target amount of dough and this should then be displayed.

Just for my understanding. Isn't bread calculation literally the same as the normal calculation but just with another unit (Amount vs Weight)...? Or is there some dough algorithm...?

Calculations

1. Normal Each recipe has a fixed amount of specific ingedrients. The ingedrients can just be multiplied by the desired product amount.

Example Recipe for one Cake

• 100g Sugar
• 300g Flour
• 3l Milk

Same recipe for 10 Cakes

• 1000g sugar
• 3000g Flour
• 30l Milk

2. Bread Recipes are based on 1kg of dough. Recipe gets adjusted by the user specifed amount.

Example Recipe 1kg of dough

• 1l Water
• 20g Salt
• 500g Flour

10kg of dough based on the previous recipe

• 10l Water
• 200g Salt
• 5000 Flour

I think the bread calculation is more like:

1. you enter your recipe with 1kg of dough

And if you want to use the recipe:

1. you select the recipe
2. you enter the amount of dough needed for 1 bread
3. you enter the amount of breads needed
4. the system displays you the correct total amount
5. the system displays you the correct amount per 1 bread ?

But i will discuss this exact procedure today.

Do you have any other question regarding this feature?
