Summary
In this video, I wanted to clarify how to add costs for value-added items like curing and smoking to invoices. Currently, these items are categorized as cuts rather than in the extras area, which means we can't automatically apply their prices yet. For now, I recommend manually adding a charge for items like cured and smoked jowl at the bottom of the invoice, specifying the weight and price per pound. This process will be a bit manual for the next month or so, but we're working on a solution to automate it in the near future. Please take note of this method for your upcoming invoices.
