Order

The Order tab turns product ingredients and product quantities into a retail buying review. It is not a customer checkout. Use it to inspect what the plan needs, compare planning and ordered quantities, and prepare purchasing information.

Ingredient requirements come from the products on Recipes. A change to product quantity or an ingredient amount can change what needs to be reviewed here. Vendor choices help organize buying, while the item details keep the product source understandable.

Use Prepare retail purchases for the plan-specific steps. Use the shared Purchasing reference when an order needs to combine records beyond this plan.

Prepare from current recipes

Open Recipes first when a requirement seems wrong. The Order tab reflects the products, their quantities, and their ingredients. It cannot tell whether an intended product quantity or ingredient amount was entered incorrectly. Once the information is current, use Order to turn that setup into a practical buying review.
