Why are ingredients flagged as low stock?
This article helps you understand and adjust a low-stock warning.
Steps
An ingredient is low when you have less than enough for your chosen number of batches of the recipes that use it. Check the number in Settings, Pricing & Orders, Low-stock threshold.
Settings, Low-stock threshold, showing Keep enough for 2 batches of every recipe using it If a recipe you rarely make is the cause, turn off "Include this recipe's ingredients in low-stock warnings" on that recipe.
A recipe with the Include this recipe's ingredients in low-stock warnings switch - Check the Stock figure on the Ingredients page is right, and correct it if not.
Common issues
- The warning icon next to some ingredient names isn't about stock. On ingredients counted by the item, like eggs, it asks for the weight of one so recipes can convert.
