Inventory Recipe

Inventory recipes are used to deplete multiple inventory items in one operation. For instance, an inventory recipe can be linked to a sales item, so that whenever that item is sold, all the ingredients used to make that sales item are depleted from the inventory in accurate quantities.
Inventory recipes can also be linked to inventory items. For instance, an inventory recipe can be linked to an inventory item called "Spaghetti Sauce", so that whenever a batch of spaghetti sauce is produced, all the necessary ingredients are automatically depleted from the inventory.
