Batch utility/other costs

breww allows the inclusion of utility and other general costs such as water, electricity and 3rd party packaging fees against a batch rather than needing to create these as stock items, they can be added as "utility/other costs" manually adding costs simply apply these costs to a batch with a name and value under the utility/other costs tab on a batch image|690x295 you can then assign a cost type , enter the cost amount, and add a batch action to add cost to for example, if you have had stock contract packaged, and want to add a cost to cans that have been filled/packaged by the 3rd party packager, you can apply a cost to the racking action to reflect the service fee/charge from the contract packager these costs will then be applied to the product that has been racked in the example below, you would apply the full amount for the cost of packaging 100 24 x 330ml cases from a 3rd party packager if it cost you £10 a case, then you would enter £1000 here automatically adding costs to batches batch costs can also be automatically added into a batch should you wish to always include a certain cost on all batches this functionality can be set up in settings > production settings > automatic batch costs settings you can choose to add the cost on a per batch or per litre basis and can choose which brew types each cost applies to (for example to only include on a batch you brew yourself and not on a batch brewed by someone else on your behalf) image|690x225
