Overview: There are a number of methods for determining the yield rate on food resources. Several methods are possible, so if you use more than one, a system of prioritization helps to avoid conflicts. To find out more, see Priority of application of the rate of return according to definition mode.
Start from: The Easilys menu.
Note: If you want the nutritional content of your recipes to be precisely calculated, then this notion of yield should only be used to take into account the variation in weight due to processing. It should not be used, for example, to take into account preparation waste (pits, skin, etc.) which is not included in the recipe.
Example:
The notion of yield should not be used to take into account the fact of going from 1 kg of purchased melon (weight including skin and seeds destined not to be eaten) to 400g of edible flesh. This loss must be declared on the supplier's product sheet, thanks to the conversion between the order unit and the production unit.
We'll need to use the notion of yield to take into account the fact of going from 100g of raw pasta to 300g of cooked pasta, or from 100g of raw mushrooms to 40g of cooked mushrooms.
Procedure to be followed according to the desired method
- Managing the yield rate through sub-Recipes
- Define the raw/cooked loss coefficient for industrial products
- Define Smart Yield rules
- Import yield rates
- Manually define the yield rate to be applied to a recipe product during simulation
Define the raw/cooked loss coefficient for industrial products
Note: To apply this method, you need to work with net quantities in recipes. This information is usually defined during the settings phase with your Easilys project manager. Contact Easilys Support if you wish to change the type of quantity management on your site.
1st method: from the Price list screen
- Select Products > Price Lists.
- Select the price list in which the product for which you wish to enter the raw/cooked loss factor is to be found.
- Click on the product name.
The product information management panel appears.
- Select the pencil icon in the Industrial product column of the management panel.
An Update an industrial product pop-up window appears:
- Enter the yield coefficient (Efficiency ratio).
- Select Update.
Example: 1 represents 100% of the product's mass. The product loses 10% of its mass during cooking, so I indicate 0.90. The product gains 10% of its mass during baking, I indicate 1.10.
2ᵉ method: from the V2 Product Administration screen
- Select Products> Product administration - V2.
- Select the industrial product.
- Select Modify.
- Enter the yield coefficient (Efficiency ratio).
- Select Save.
Note: As a reminder, the raw/cooked loss coefficient is entered at industrial product level. An industrial product can be linked to several supplier products. The coefficient will therefore be applied to all supplier products linked to this industrial product.
Note: An ingredient that can be used cooked or raw (zucchini, white mushroom) must not have a completed raw/cooked ratio. You'll need to use a sub-recipe for cooking (1.5 kg of mushrooms for 1 kg of sautéed mushrooms).
Define Smart Yield rules
The Smart Yield screen (Recipes section) allows you to set up rules that Easilys will apply to automatically fill in yield rates for food resources.
To find out more, consult the article The benefits of using Smart Yield rules from which this extract is taken and/or the article Create a Smart Yield rule.
Import yield rates
Imports are carried out by the Easilys technical team and are subject to quotation.
Contact Easilys Support for more information.
Manually define the yield rate to be applied to a recipe product during simulation
To apply this method, you need to work in net OR gross quantities in the recipes (and not in net AND gross).
This information is usually defined during the Settings phase with your Easilys project manager.
Contact Easilys Support if you wish to change the type of quantity management on your site.
- Select Recipes in the main menu > Recipe management.
- Select the recipe to which you wish to manually apply yield rates.
- Activate the simulator.
The Coef. column is now available:
- Enter the rate to be applied in the appropriate product box.
- Click outside the box.
Registration is automatic.
Note: Once a yield rate has been saved manually, you can cancel it by clicking on the spinning arrow button next to the box.
Note: A yield rate may already be viewed in the box: this is the yield rate applied in compliance with a rate import or the application of a Smart Yield rule. If there is no yield rate applied, the box indicates 1.
