IMPROVED

Scheduler

We rebuilt the scheduler from the ground up. Expect more improvements soon (eg. drag and drop, resizing).

Recipes

• Recipes has had a major UI upgrade
• Active vs Inactive Recipe statuses
• Recipe Versions
• Recipe Series

Recipes UI Upgrade

Production > Recipes

1. Filter recipes by using the search for name or abbreviation, or the tags for Series, New recipes or Brewed recipes
2. Recipes are categorised by Active and Inactive
3. Set recipes as Inactive or Active using the menu on each card

Recipe Versions

Once a recipe version has been brewed, you can no longer edit it. If you need to make changes to a recipe, create a new draft.

1. New Draft will create a new draft version of the current open recipe version
2. Active recipe version is the one you’ll brew from next

Recipe Series

A Series is a simple label that groups related recipes (e.g., Seasonal, Perennial, Collaboration). A Series can have a name, a description and a colour.

As shown in the video below, you can create a new Series directly from the Recipe.

Play

Click the Manage Series button to create, update and delete Series.

Cancelling Orders in Shopify

U = UnrestrictedR = Reservedx = Removed from Inventory

We’ve again adjusted how BrewKeeper manages your sales channel inventory when you cancel and refund orders.

There was an update earlier this month where we supported cancelling unpaid and unfulfilled orders by reallocating Reserved inventory to Unrestricted. This improvement left inventory out of sync when people chose not to restock.

We now support both these workflows, plus additional more complex workflows that users might follow.
