Choose the version
Start a Sample or Batch from the saved Formula or Stock version you intend to use.
The process.
The batch.
The record.
Your saved formula comes to the bench with its process. Actual quantities, ingredient lots, observations, and photos stay with the Sample or Batch you create.
Less to piece together afterward.
Start from the exact saved version, not a separate set of instructions. Keep the plan and what actually happened in the same build record.
Set the amount
Keep the required ingredients and equipment with the process before you start a batch.
Follow the steps
Use Build Steps on your phone or print the process. Record actual amounts and lots as you work.
Review and close
Save the record and review inventory changes at closeout, including actual use and corrections.
Your process.
Within reach.
Follow and check off the steps without switching between the formula and a separate process document.
Record the ingredients, lots, equipment, and amounts actually used. Add observations and photos to the same record, while the details are still in front of you.
Every Sample.
Every Batch.
Recorded.
Find the source version, actual quantities, lots, and observations with the build. No matching a batch notebook to a separately named formula file.
Review what was used
Inventory changes happen at reviewed closeout. Account for actual use and corrections rather than treating the planned quantity as the final record.
Return to the record
Keep photos and observations linked to the Sample or Batch they describe.
An experiment needs its own record.
Bench Tests give focused experiments a separate home for conditions, observations, measurements, and photos.
Use them when you are investigating a question. They are separate from Sample and Batch records, not an extra stage every batch must pass through.
From the shelf to the batch.
