What is recipe costing?

Recipe costing works out what one unit of a product costs to make, from the price of each ingredient in the recipe plus packaging and conversion, and compares it with the selling price after tax and channel margin to show the real margin.

Why cost recipes in FCOS

  • Same recipe as the label

    Costing reads the approved ingredients, so nothing is copied.

  • Price changes in context

    See every SKU an ingredient price change affects.

  • Safe by design

    Costing never edits the nutrition label.

Frequently asked questions

Does costing change my nutrition label?

No. Costing reads the recipe but never edits the product, its nutrition or its label.

Who can see costs and margins?

Admins by default. Editors and Reviewers do not see costing unless an Admin allows it.
