# Production Lists

**Production Lists** are similar to [Market Lists](https://support.kitchencut.com/_hcms/analytics/search/conversion?redirect=aHR0cHM6Ly9zdXBwb3J0LmtpdGNoZW5jdXQuY29tL21hcmtldC1saXN0cw%3D%3D&ct=SEARCH&pid=5924514&cid=194242748019&t=bWFya2V0&d=support.kitchencut.com&c=5&rp=1&ab=false&opcid=&rs=UNKNOWN&hs-expires=1786445673&hs-version=1&hs-signature=APUk-v6EfcmPiQlbYaGBR04-59BTJs1Jpg&hsLang=en), but instead of adding products directly from your product catalogue, they are built from **recipes, sub-recipes, and menus**.

This is especially useful for **events, set menus, canapé services**, or any scenario where quantities are derived from prepared recipes rather than individual products.

You can find Production Lists and Production List Templates by going to:  
**Ordering \> Lists \> Production Lists** / **Production List Templates**

#### Creating a Production List

1. Navigate to the **Production Lists** tab and click **Add New**.![Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 11.49.39](https://support.kitchencut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-11%20at%2011.49.39.png?width=688&height=133&name=Screenshot%202025-08-11%20at%2011.49.39.png)
2. Enter a **name** for the list.
3. Assign one or more **Revenue Outlets** this list will be available for.![Screenshot 2025-08-11 at 11.50.59](https://support.kitchencut.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-08-11%20at%2011.50.59.png?width=688&height=83&name=Screenshot%202025-08-11%20at%2011.50.59.png)
4. Add **sub-recipes, recipes, or entire menus**:
   
     - **Recipes & Sub-Recipes** – Enter the required quantity per line.
     - **Menus** – Set the **yield** for the menu:
       
           - If the menu is set to *per person*, the yield should match the number of guests (e.g. for a 100-person event, set yield to 100).
5. Once all items have been added, click **Create** to finalise the list.

#### Using Production Lists

Once created, Production Lists can be applied to purchase orders:

- When added to a purchase order, the system will automatically **break down all constituent products** from the recipes, sub-recipes, or menus into the purchase order lines.
- You can then edit these purchase orders as required before sending to suppliers.

---

### 💡 Best Practices

- Name lists clearly for quick identification (e.g. *Wedding – 24th Sept – 150 Guests*).
- Use templates for regularly repeated events or menus to save time.
- Double-check yields and quantities before creating the list to ensure accurate product breakdowns.

### ❓ FAQs

**Q: Can I build a Production List directly from products?**  
A: No — if you want to build a list directly from products, use a **Market List** instead.

**Q: Can I mix menus, recipes, and sub-recipes in one list?**  
A: Yes — you can add any combination of these.

**Q: Can I edit a Production List after it’s been used in a purchase order?**  
A: You can edit the list itself, but changes won’t automatically update existing purchase orders — these will need to be edited manually.
