What are recipes?
Recipes are the “recipes” for your finished products (for example, a bottle of wine): a list of components and their quantities. In WineryElf, recipes are pulled from the ERP module of the InvoiceOcean invoicing system.
What are they for?
Recipes let you:
- 📦 Know exactly what a product is made of (wine, bottle, cork, label)
- 💰 Calculate the unit cost of a bottle
- 📊 Plan production and purchasing
- 📋 Document the production process
How it works
1. Setting up the connection
WineryElf menu → ⚙️ Settings → InvoiceOcean
Provide:
-
Subdomain - e.g.
mycompany(from the address mycompany.invoiceocean.com) - API token - you will find it in InvoiceOcean → Settings → Integration → API authorization code
2. Synchronization
WineryElf menu → 📋 Recipes → Synchronize
The system will fetch all recipes from your InvoiceOcean account.
3. Browsing
Each recipe shows:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Recipe name (e.g. “Riesling Bottle 2024”) |
| Finished product | What the recipe produces |
| Components | List of components with quantities |
| Cost | Total value of the components |
Example recipe
Riesling Bottle 2024
| Component | Quantity | Price | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riesling wine | 0.75 L | 10.67 / L | 8.00 |
| Bottle 0.75L | 1 pc | 1.80 | 1.80 |
| Natural cork | 1 pc | 2.50 | 2.50 |
| Label | 1 pc | 0.30 | 0.30 |
| Capsule | 1 pc | 0.15 | 0.15 |
| TOTAL | 12.75 |
