Batch sheet
Also called Batch record, Production record, Work order
The document the floor works from and signs: what to weigh, in what order, what to check, and what actually happened.
A batch sheet is your recipe converted to the size of the batch the site is actually making, in the units the person at the scale is actually using. That conversion is where most errors live: a recipe in grams per litre, a batch measured in barrels, and a scale reading pounds.
It is also the legal record of the run. Alongside the quantities it carries the lot number of every ingredient used, the quality checks with their results, who performed them, and any deviation from plan. Signed, it is what an auditor reads.
Generated from the recipe it can only be internally consistent. Retyped into a spreadsheet for each run, it becomes the single most likely place for a decimal point to move.
NextBatch keeps this straight for you. Cost per unit, tolling tiers, yield and traceability all derive from the same plan you and your co-manufacturer share — so none of it is a number somebody typed twice.
