A recipe is a list of components used to assemble a bill of materials. The same BOM could be assembled using different components, as such it's possible to add more than one recipe for each BOM. You can specify a default recipe; this ensures this recipe is used when items are assembled automatically.
Creating recipes
- Find the BOM in the Bill of materials listing and click Edit
- Next, click the Add new recipe button
- Enter a recipe name, qty (this is the number of finished products this recipe will assemble) and select whether this is the BOM's default recipe
- Click Add new component
- In the SKU field, seach for the component SKU and select it from the drop-down
- Enter the quantity required to assemble the BOM
- Add all required components, repeating steps 4-6
- Click Save

| Field | Description |
| BOMId | The product ID of the BOM's product record in Brightpearl |
| BOMQty | The number of finished products this recipe will create |
| AutoAssembly | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
| AutoPriceUpdate | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
| DefaultBinLocation | The default warehouse location for assembled items |
| compProdId | The product ID of the component's product record in Brightpearl |
| compProdName | The name of the component |
| compProdSku | The SKU of the component |
| compProdQty | The component quantity |
| RecipeId | The recipe ID |
| RecipeName | The recipe name |
| PrimaryRecipe | Use 0 for No or 1 for Yes |
| deleteBom | Leave blank when creating recipes or enter 1 to delete an existing recipe |
