Spread a plan's quantity across the days you'll run it, so each recipe lands on a date the floor can pick, weigh, and produce.

A plan tells you to make 300 lb of base sauce this week. Your kettle holds a hundred at a time and Thursday is already full, so 300 in one lump helps no one. Scheduling is where you break that number into the days you'll actually run it — 90 lb Monday, 90 Wednesday, 120 Friday — so the floor gets a dated batch to run, not a lump sum. You schedule from the plan itself: open Production plans, choose a plan, and select Schedule.
Kitchen+The schedule is a month grid: one row per recipe in the plan, one column per day. You fill in how much to make, cell by cell.
Open the plan's schedule
From Production plans, open the plan and select Schedule. The grid opens on the current month, with the plan's number under the heading and a row for each recipe the plan makes — its name, department, and yield unit.
Enter the quantity for a day
Find the recipe's row and the day you want to run it, and type how much to make into that cell. Enter the amount in the recipe's yield unit — whole units for a counted product, pounds (decimals allowed) for one made by weight. The cell saves on its own when you move off it, and a Saved time appears underneath.
Spread the batch across the days
Keep filling cells to split one plan across the days it takes to run — a batch here, a batch there — until the amounts add up to what the plan needs. Move through the calendar with Previous and Next; Today jumps back to the current month.
Each cell you fill becomes a . A few things about the grid tell you where you can act:
Scheduling doesn't start production — it lays out the dated amounts the floor works from. Each day you enter appears back on the plan, under its Schedule section, listed as a date, recipe, and quantity. From there the days flow into the daily schedule your team sequences and picks against, and the floor builds a production run from them.
A plan can't be edited while it's scheduled
Once a plan has scheduled days, editing or deleting the plan is blocked until you clear the schedule — the plan shows Remove the schedule before updating this plan. Open the schedule and set those days back to nothing first (see below), then make your change.
To change an amount, type a new number over the old one. To take a day off the schedule, clear its cell or set it to 0 — the day drops off the plan, and Bettr keeps the change in its history rather than erasing it.
A day locks once its run has started
When the floor has started weighing against a scheduled day, that cell locks and rejects edits with Locked — production run already started. By then the day belongs to the run, not the plan, so change the run on the floor instead of the schedule.
If a plan's row reads This plan has no recipe to schedule yet, the plan has nothing to make — add a product or recipe to the plan before you can schedule it.
