How to edit a completed roast

This article explains how to edit a completed roast.





Cropster allows you to make edits to your completed roasts, giving you the flexibility to refine and enhance your roasting records.

Please note that the "Rolling back" feature does not apply to roasts created through the Scheduling process.


There are two ways to edit a completed roast:

  1. Via the Roasting Intelligence (RI)
  2. Via the online platform C-sar

Editing a completed roast via the Roasting Intelligence (RI)


After you have conducted a roast, you can update the End weight, add Roast values 1 and 2, or add Notes from within Roasting Intelligence directly.

Revising the roast information

For roasts linked to a Post-roast blend (e.g., PB-0001), the roasts' date/time nor the green lot(s) used cannot be adjusted.


The following information can be revised:

  • Change the Roast name 
  • Change the Date and time of your roast 
  • Assign a different Profile 
  • Revise the Machine 
  • Change the Roast technician 
  • Add Roast value(s) or change the method 
  • Assign a Project 
  • Add Notes 
  • Change the Green lot or add blended components 
  • Change the Start weight (green) and End weight (roasted) of your roast 

About changing green lots and roast weights

When adjusting the Start weights or replacing green lots, your green inventory weight will be recalculated accordingly.

If the inventory weight for the green lot in question has been adjusted manually after the roast has been conducted, the inventory weight won't be calculated back into the lot upon replacing it with another. 


To revise the roast components or start and end weights, follow these steps:
  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar.
  2. Navigate to Roasts on the main menu bar.
  3. Select Roasts. You will be directed to the Roasts overview page.
  4. Click on the two arrows on the right side of the page at the roast in question.

    💡 You can only select green lots that are assigned to the same location as the roast and that have been registered before the roast has been conducted.  
  6. Click on Update roast to save the changes.
