Fragrance section, Inventory

[Valentin]

Hi,

I am new here and experimenting with inventory and recipe making.

It seems to me, that when I create a new recipe, the fragrances section is quite useless - it doesn't work with the inventory, and this way the fragrances don't include in the cost of the batch, and I can't follow how much left of them.

When I add a new item to purchase, there are four options in the drop-down (base oil, additive, lye/water, packaging).
This is somehow inconsistent with the recipe-making form where there is a separate section for fragrances.
How should I add my essential oils and fragrances to the purchase?

So what do you think about this? I think it's a good workaround to not use the fragrances section and add them as additives.
I really don't see what the fragrances section is for.

Fragrances are considered an additive, as are essential oils.

I just don't see the point of this part:


Because, if I add something here, I won't see my available supplies (fragrances and essential oils) when I create a batch, and it won't affect the cost of the batch, and the remaining supplies either.

In order to achieve this, I have to add all my fragrances and essential oils as additives in the previous step. Is there any advantage of adding them here again at this part?

It calculates the amount to use for you, if you choose to use that feature.
