Cost Per Bar

[kweissenberger]

I have searched the forum and cannot figure this out. I am trying to determine my cost per bar. I tried putting the per bar size after cure of 3.75oz and 6 portions (I use cavity molds) and a second "portion" bc I had enough to do one smaller mold. The system only added one 3.75 bar and the 3.25 bar and didn't multiply the 6 portions of the larger bars. Am I making sense? So it said it cost me $4.00. So I did the math myself and entered 22.5oz for the "portion" that was 6 bars of 3.75oz and it increased the total cost but it doesnt show a cost per bar. I am guessing I just always have to figure out my per bar cost offline? Should I put a 6 in the First Group with the total ounces so I know it was six bars?

When you do the batch, you put in the portion size in, and the number. I’m confused because you said “the system did it”. What did you enter when you clicked the batch to open it?

Thank you for responding! When I first opened the batch there was nothing in the Portions Section. (I didnt do this when I made the batch) The first time I did it I thought I was supposed to put the 6 as the Number of Portions and the average weight of each of the six bars as the portion size. I realized that didn't work because it gave me almost the same cost for 6 bars as for one. So I realized I had to put TOTAL weight of the six bars in the Portion size. That cost seems right - so should I have 6 in the Number of Portions and then the full weight. My smaller bar was so close in size I could easily just make it the total weight and 7 portions to come up with bar cost. Do people weigh each bar and enter them separately or since most people use loaf molds just do the whole loaf. I guess I thought the system would give me a "cost per bar" but that is only if I enter each bar individually?
