Lesson 17/18 — Use the right batch size, lot prices, packing units and currency.
Before you start
Priced material lots, packaging and a saved formula/batch.
Calculate and review
- Open Formula → Cost calculation → Add variation. Set Batch size 1000 g and Pcs per batch 20 for the demo. Select lot prices or enter Cost per gram (0.012 / 0.008 / 0.060 USD/g); the raw-material total is $11.32. For actual production, review the Batch’s selected material lots, actual weights and packaging.
- Record packaging pieces, filling amount and other costs in the appropriate fields. A bottle’s capacity, product declared amount and actual filling weight are separate inputs.
- DEMO: materials $11.32 + 20 packing sets × $0.80 = $27.32, before any additional costs. Divide by the actual sellable unit count when checking unit cost.
- Review selling price, markup/margin and available profitability tables separately. Check the formula used by the application; markup is not the same percentage as margin.
Export
- Open the relevant Export to PDF preview and review it before downloading. Confirm identity, units, costs and whether missing/unknown compliance data is represented correctly.
- Use the entity table’s XLS import/export actions where your plan exposes them. Follow the provided layout and verify imported rows; importing an Ingredient is not the same as receiving a physical lot.
- Use available QR label downloads/printing to reopen records. A QR code does not grant access to someone without workspace permission.
Check
Changing account currency/units is not an automatic conversion of old prices or quantities. PDF/XLS access and cost/packaging features depend on your plan.

Expected result
The estimate, actual cost, sellable unit count and export are consistent.
