The report also displays the recipe yield, total recipe cost (static/actual cost), menu item price, and cost percentage.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: Why would the two listed costs be different?
A: If there is a difference in price between your static cost (displayed in the table header) and dynamic costs (total recipe cost), it is usually because something has updated the dynamic ingredient costs (like a conversion change or new AP information) but the price update has not been processed yet to true up the static cost versus the new reality.
