Overview 

This article explains how to schedule a Post-roast blend. Post-roast blend means you roast each component separately and mix them afterward. 

When you use Roasting Intelligence to schedule these post-roast blend batches, the “Batch order” setting determines the sequence in which your production plan appears in Roasting Intelligence:

• By component: This option groups all batches of the same coffee, regardless of which blend they will eventually belong to.
• By cycle: This option groups batches based on the blend. It treats one “cycle” as the completion of one full recipe. With this workflow, you complete one “set” of blends at a time.
