How many units is that batch, and what do we weigh?

Your co-packer batches in barrels or hectolitres. Your recipe is per litre. Your scale reads pounds. This is the conversion that sits between all three — the same one a batch sheet has to get right.

Weigh-out list

Your recipe per litre, scaled to this batch and converted to the unit the person at the scale is actually reading.

NextBatch generates this automatically, per run. Your recipe is stored once in its own basis; the batch sheet is produced at whatever size the site is running and in whatever unit their scale uses. Nobody converts anything by hand, which is where the decimal points usually move.
