Making Overview
The Make section is for businesses that produce, assemble, or prepare products — whether that's cooking recipes, assembling kits, or manufacturing goods. You define what goes into your products (templates), then schedule when to make them (work orders).
<!-- Screenshot: Make section in sidebar showing Templates and Work Orders -->Two Key Concepts
Templates
A template is like a recipe or a bill of materials. It describes:
- What you're making — The finished product
- What goes into it — The ingredients, components, or materials needed
- How much of each — The quantities required
For example, a "Honey Mustard" template might need 2 lbs of mustard seeds, 1 lb of honey, and 0.5 lbs of vinegar.
Work Orders
A work order is a scheduled production run. It says:
- Which template to use
- How much to produce
- When to make it
- Where to make it
Work orders pull from your inventory (ingredients go down) and create finished products (inventory goes up).
How It All Connects
- Create a template with your recipe or assembly instructions
- Schedule a work order when you need to produce a batch
- Complete the work order when production is done
- Peasy deducts the ingredients and adds the finished product to your inventory
Everything ties back to inventory. If you don't have enough ingredients, Peasy will alert you.
Red Badges
- Templates badge — Shows how many templates have ingredient gaps (you don't have enough raw materials on hand)
- Work Orders badge — Shows how many work orders are due today or overdue
