# Semi-finished product

| A semi-finished product is an item that is not fully finished, but is ready to be used in production. This means the product has gone through a certain stage of processing, but it has not yet become the final product. For example, dumplings, dough for bread, or frozen fried items are examples of semi-finished products. These items are later finished at the final stage and served to the customer.
To create a semi-finished product, go to **Menu → Semi-finished product** and click the **Create** button.![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/4/0/e/740e20bde3bec000/image_iik7bn.png)

**Total output** – Enter the final quantity or number of portions that the semi-finished product will produce (pcs, kg, l).
If you know which recipes (tech cards) the semi-finished product will be used in, choose the unit of measurement accordingly. For example, if you know how many portions it will make, use "pieces"; if you know how many kilograms it will make, use "kilograms," or use another suitable unit. For instance, if you enter 1 kg, you need to accurately list the ingredients required to prepare 1 kg of pizza dough and the exact amount of each ingredient.![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/7/4/0/e/740e20bde3bec000/image_1qwmg5c.png)
