11-10-24 Trying to succeed at everything. Use up avocado oil, use mango butter instead of cocoa, include castor so there are some bubbles, keep coconut high for bubbles and allowing for avocado (so reducing olive & palm). blah, blah, blah. For 8 cupcakes I assume people won't even want to use.

Need to use up Avocado

I copied a recipe, gave it today's date, made the recipe 28oz, and then created a batch from it so that everything was connected to today's recipe. Here's the recipe: https://www.soapmakingfriend.com/recipes/88917.6-20-24-restorative-variation-2-kiss-pour The math within the Batch window has...

Thanks. :) Happy Sunday and soap making!

I'm still getting conflicting math between the recipes I create and the batches I turn them into. I made a 120oz recipe that I wanted as a 28oz batch. So I created a new batch and called it Restorative #2 for Kiss Pour: https://www.soapmakingfriend.com/batches/view/8726 To check the batch...

It's better! Closer. Not 100%. I made two 12oz batches yesterday where only one ingredient was different (organic red palm oil vs. palm oil). Here's what happened. 1. The oil measurements weren't the same even though the % were exactly the same -- the difference wasn't huge but makes no...

This crazy math goes back several months, which explains why my inventory has been off for so long. Here's a batch from February that's 150oz and as an example 94oz of cocoa butter is being used and 65,000oz of Apricot oil is being used. Now I understand why my recent batches say I'm out of...

Last problem!!! I just printed my 120oz batch from the Recipe calculator and the calculator says the total batch weight is 124.43oz (printout attached). 23.77 (liquid) +11.88 (lye) +84.35 (oils) = 120oz. Not sure what's going on . . .

Thanks! I'm laughing because all I want to do is make soap, and I thought using the batch function would be helpful (I never used it before last year) and now it's . . . . more of a head scratcher. I'm hesitant to mention I found another software bug that actually isn't a bug but other...

Here's the original recipe for the above batch (the one I created today). My "Notes" are no longer printing at the top of the page when I print directly from the Recipe page. That just started today. I printed two separate recipes and my notes did not print on either one...

Thank you! I just tried to make a batch with a new recipe and the math is incorrect with this, too. The recipe itself is fine -- but when I turn it into a batch the math goes haywire. The total batch size is 120oz, so Palm, Coconut & Olive should be around 20+oz each, but only Palm has the...

Let me know if you can't open these links. Hopefully you have access to my account. Here's the original batch ID (7461). It's called "Rebecca's Discovery with Sesame not neem." I created that batch twice on March 1st but ID7460 is off on Palm, so I must have created a new one...

I just copied a batch I made in March and chose "re-size" because the original batch was 35.27oz and I wanted a 50oz batch. Once I did that I looked at the oil amounts needed and noticed the math was wildly wrong. For a 50oz batch the software calculates 60oz each of multiple oils. The more...

Here it is! In the previous screen shot it's noted in the bottom right

It works, Alan!!! Thank you SO, SO MUCH!!! Two days ago -- when I only had "wrappers" as an option -- I updated a batch from May and wrappers were immediately removed from my inventory (the wrong ones, but inventory was updated). Today I created "Wrappers-Medium" and "Wrappers - Large" and...

Thank you!!!!

I just bought shrink wrap for medium and large soap bars and there's only one "wrapper" choice under "Packaging." Can we create our own wrapper distinctions in order to accurately reduce our inventory? Currently, the software automatically reduces the first wrapper inventoried which in my...

I have over 100 recipes in my account that I would like to pare down to less than 30. If I delete recipes that are linked to previous batches will my inventory get messed up? If the answer is "yes" is there another way to accomplish my goal? Thank you!
