Hi guys,  
it’s that time of the year again… when all are merry. It’s also the time when cost reports are requested.  
I was trying to figure out how to add extra costs (utilities, labour, etc) automatically , without having to manually input them for each batch.  
There’s the “fake ingredient” option (add those extra cost as an ingredient),and the classic utility/other costs tab on the batch page.  
Any other suggestions?  
Cheers!

Hi Alexis,

We do have this on our feature request list, and I have added your vote to it to help move it up the development queue as it is not possible currently. Once this is implemented, we will follow up with you to let you know that it’s live.

I hope that helps and I’m glad to hear you are merry ready for the holidays!

Cheers,

Joe
