In this article, you can learn to add categories to stockable recipes:

1. Adding accounting categories to stockable recipes manually
- Go to the recipe you want to add an accounting category too. "Products">"Recipes" and open the recipe in edit mode by clicking the pencil icon next to the recipe's name.
- In the general tab under "Categorisation", you'll find "Accounting category".
- Just select the right accounting category for this recipe and save the recipe.
If the accounting categories are grey and you can't select them, this means that your recipe is not yet stockable. Please make your recipe to stockable first and you'll be able to set the category.
