Optimize Smart Grammage rules using recipe categories
If your environment is configured for multiple languages, the multilingual icon appears for some fields. For more information on how to use it, see the article Use Easilys in multilingual mode .
Start from: The Easilys menu.
Using recipe categories and subcategories
A recipe category, as its name suggests, allows you to categorize recipes, to group them together in the same group. The recipe subcategory further refines this categorization.
The benefit of this categorization is, first of all, to be able to filter your recipe list.
Example: If you are looking for a dessert recipe sheet, use the Recipe Category filter by checking only the Dessert category. You will then have, on the screen, only the recipe sheets attached to this category.
Finally, recipe categories and subcategories can be a criterion for applying a rule of Smart Selection, Smart Grammage, Smart Packaging, Smart Catalogue, or smart particularity.
Application priority of yield rate according to the definition mode
Start from: The Easilys menu.
There are different methods to define the yield rate. It is not mandatory to choose only one method. If you use several methods simultaneously, here is the order of application priority from the lowest to the highest.
1. The raw/cooked loss coefficient (lowest priority)
Filling in the raw/cooked loss coefficient on the information sheet of an industrial product is the most generic method for defining the yield rate. As soon as this raw/cooked loss coefficient conflicts with another yield rate defined by another method, it does not apply.
2. Smart Yield rules and yield rate imports (intermediate priority)
"Smart Yield rules" VS "Yield rate imports"
Both yield rates are cumulative if they both apply to the same product.
Yield rate from a Smart Yield rule x Yield rate from an import = Yield rate applied to the recipe
"Yield rate defined on the recipe owner site" VS "That applying to products of recipes inherited on a child site from a Smart Yield rule"
Both yield rates are cumulative only on the concerned child site.
Yield rate of the recipe owner site x Yield rate of the child site = Yield rate applied on the child site
"Yield rate defined on the recipe owner site" VS "That applying to products of recipes inherited on a child site from an import"
Both yield rates are cumulative only on the concerned child site.
Yield rate of the recipe owner site x Yield rate of the child site = Yield rate applied on the child site
3. Manual definition of the yield rate in a recipe (highest priority)
Unlike the raw/cooked loss coefficient, if you manually define a yield rate directly on the recipe sheet, this value will take priority over all other yield rate definition methods.
If you wish to cancel this manual entry, select the rotating arrow icon.
Note: Manual definition of the yield rate is only possible if the site is set to manage quantities in "Net" or "Gross" and the simulator is activated. For more information, see the article Manage yield rates of food resources.
"Yield rate manually defined on the recipe product owner site" VS "That manually defined on the child site of the inherited recipe product"
The value defined on the recipe inherited from the child site will always take priority over the value defined on the recipe owner site.
Managing tap water in recipes
Start from: The Easilys menu.
Follow these three steps:
1. Create a supplier record
Select Products > Suppliers.
Create a supplier record RECIPE VALUATION.
No need to detail the record, just enter the label.
Note: These elements are generally created on the root site. All child sites can then benefit from them by inheritance.
Note: If you are working on a child site, be sure to check that this is not already available before you start creating. Simply go to the Purchasable items screen and search for TAP WATER.
Manage traceability steps
Note: Actions on the Easilys platform depend on your user access permissions. If you are unable to perform the actions below, this may be due to restrictions on your user profile. Please contact the Support team or your administrator for assistance.
Start from: The Easilys menu.
Navigate to Traceability > Administration of Traceability Steps.
Name*: Provide a clear, descriptive name for the step (e.g., "Unpacking", "Cooling", "Delivery").

Select Delete.
In the confirmation window, select Yes to confirm the deletion of the step.
Create a Traceability Plan
Note: Actions on the Easilys platform depend on your user access permissions. If you are not able to perform the actions below, this may be due to restrictions on your user profile. Please contact the support team or your administrator for assistance.
Start from: The Easilys menu
Prerequisite: Define the key traceability steps as described in the article Manage traceability steps.
Step 1: Create a new traceability plan
You can create a single traceability plan that includes all the steps you wish to trace, or you can define specific plans with only some of the steps to simplify usage for your teams. For example, you might create one plan for unpacking and production steps, and another for production and delivery; or one for cold preparation and another for hot preparation.
Go to Traceability > Traceability (plan mode).
Select the Traceability Plan view.
Click the Administration button.
Select + Add to create a new traceability plan.
In the Name field*, enter a clear and descriptive name (e.g., cold preparation).
Click Create to save your new plan.
Step 2: Add traceability steps to the plan
You must now specify which steps should appear in the new plan.
Select the Administration of traceability steps view.
Navigate to the traceability plan in which you want to add a step.
Click Add a Step.
Choose from the available traceability steps.
Note: Traceability steps must be created beforehand. See Manage traceability steps for setup and customisation.
Select the display size of the step (large or small card).
Arrange the traceability steps using drag-and-drop so that the plan is practical and easy to use.

Start from: The Easilys menu.
Create “Recipe components” tags
Note: Tag creation is reserved for admins. Once created, they are available to all sites in the Easilys environment.
Select Sites in the main menu > Administration of tags.
In the Recipe components section :
Select + Add a tag.
Name the tag.
Select Create.
Note: Saving is immediate.
Apply tags to recipe components
Select Recipes in the main menu > Recipe management.
Select a recipe card in which you wish to add recipe component tags.
Note: Make sure the simulator is deactivated. (If this is activated, it is not possible to modify the recipe).
In the component table:
Select the + icon, visible in the Tags column, to add a tag to an item.
Note: Saving is immediate.
Example: You can add the Do not order tag to salt and pepper. So you can ask Easilys not to worry about these ingredients when preparing your order.
Example: You can add the tag Do not produce to vinaigrette. In this way, you can ask Easilys not to worry about this sub-recipe when editing your production reports.
Note: You can only add one recipe component tag per component (ingredient, sub-recipe or product).
Using recipe component tag filters
If you have positioned component tags in your recipes, then you can use this criterion in the filters so that reports or calculations take them into account. The screens where this filter is available are :
Supplier Orders > Order preparation.
Production > Production.
Shipment > Packaging and logistics.
Stock > Stock removal.

The industrial product is the product as it leaves the production plant.
The supplier product corresponds to the product marketed by the supplier.
The generic ingredient corresponds to the ingredient associated with the industrial product.
Note: The same industrial product may be marketed by several suppliers. There may therefore be several supplier products linked to the same industrial product.
Example: "In my tomato sauce recipe, I indicate that I need tomatoes. I therefore add the generic ingredient TOMATOES to my Easilys recipe.
In the price lists, we can see that supplier A sells the product "Tomato bunches Size 3 CARTON 5 Kg".
The above product must therefore be linked to the notion of the generic ingredient TOMATOES, otherwise Easilys will not be able to know that the product corresponds to the generic ingredient TOMATOES that has been added to a recipe.
Once the product has been linked to the generic ingredient, Easilys is able to offer "Tomato Bunches Size 3 BOX 5 Kg" from supplier A when you need to prepare tomato sauce.
Note: If supplier A no longer markets its product, or if the price increases, Easilys will be able to offer another product also linked to the TOMATOES ingredient that the other suppliers market.
This avoids having to update the recipe every time you change product.
Your recipe cards are made up of ingredients. These ingredients are linked to industrial products: Easilys can therefore offer you the supplier products corresponding to the ingredient in order to order those required for your recipes.
