Please note: depending upon which method you use, only users with the "Manage recipes" or "Manage products" can map products to ingredients.
Mapping purveyor products to ingredients is an important step towards costing out your recipes. By mapping products (which contain purchasing information) to ingredients, your ingredients can pull the necessary purchase information to cost properly.
Multiple products can be mapped to one ingredient, however a single product can only be mapped to a single ingredient. For example, you order lettuce from two different purveyors, which is two different products, but those two products will be mapped to your one "Lettuce" ingredient that's used within recipes.
