On an ingredient stock item, you can now specify alternative ingredients that can be used as substitutes when the usual is out of stock. When defining the possible substitutes, you can also set a quantity multiplier in case you need to use more or less of the alternative item. Substitutes will never be automatically applied to the batch, but this makes it really easy for you to confirm the substitute used. To get started, go to an ingredient and add an alternative in the “Recipe substitutions” section 😁
