As you are finishing the racking process for a vessel, you may find that there is still some volume left that cannot fill an entire keg or cask. In this case, you may choose to transfer this remaining quantity to a part-filled keg or cask rather than waste it. This may be to sell as a part-filled keg product which can be sold to your taproom (or a customer if desired).

When racking, you are always racking into a specific "Product". For this reason, and to ensure there is never confusion between full and part-filled products, you need to create a part-filled version of your product.

You can create a part-filled product by selecting the "This product is only part-filled" option when creating or editing a product.

To create the part-filled version of an existing product, the quickest and easiest way would be to go to the main product, then click Actions, choose Duplicate product and save the duplicate product. Then you'll be taken to the duplicate product, so choose Actions -> Edit, tick the part-filled checkbox and click Save. Then you will have the part-filled version of that product.

To rack into a part-filled product, just select it during the racking flow, and Breww will ask an additional question on how full the product is:

You can then manage that product just as you would any other, with the ability to edit prices, add to invoices, deliver to customers, add aliases, rack from it, etc.

Once you have finished racking off your container, this will display as part-filled. However, you cannot assign this to an order until it's assigned to a part-filled product. Provided you have followed the instructions on setting up a part-filled product, you can select the Product assigned to button on the container page for your part-filled container. This button will allow you to Assign a part-filled container to a product. You can then select the appropriate part-filled product from the drop-down menu here. This will now allow you to add this container to an order.
