Ration

Supply (shopping list)

Supply lists what you still need to buy for the active group, compared against Cargo.

Purpose and sync sources

Sync merges demand from:

  • Galley — meals marked active for Supply,
  • Manifest — plan days marked On Supply, limited to the org planning horizon (today → today + N − 1; 1–30 days, default 7),
  • Cargo — restock toggles with an explicit buy quantity (default 1).

Meal ingredients subtract what is already in Cargo (including fuzzy name matches). The same ingredient from multiple sources appears as one line with origin badges (Manifest, Galley, Cargo) and quantities summed. Optional recipe ingredients are not added during list sync.

Quantities respect your global unit display mode (original, metric, imperial, or cooking) in Settings → Preferences. Liquids stay volume-based; volume-measured solids can use density-backed weight conversions and show an ≈ prefix when approximate.

Actions

  • Sync / refresh — Opening Supply auto-syncs. Use Refresh list to recompute manually.
  • Manual add / edit / remove — Create, change, or delete list lines by hand.
  • Mark purchased — Check off items while shopping; you can confirm quantity and unit when checking off. Checked items stay until you dock them or complete a receipt scan from Supply.
  • From meal — Add missing ingredients for one specific meal onto the list.
  • Snooze — Hide an ingredient from future syncs for a period (for example you already have it elsewhere). Snoozed items stay out until they expire or you clear them.
  • Dock / complete — Move purchased lines into Cargo (same merge/dedup path as direct Cargo adds). Post-dock reconciliation updates pantry gaps and clears or reduces fulfilled restock toggles.
  • Replenish scan — Scan or upload a receipt from Supply; Ration pairs receipt lines with the list so you can verify quantities before docking. Receipt scanning also works from Cargo. Scan cost: see Receipt scanning and AI credits explained.
  • Share — Create a public share link so household members can toggle purchased state without logging in. Requires Crew Member eligibility — see Free vs Crew Member.
  • Export — Export the list (for example text or markdown) for clipboard or notes.
  • Planning horizon — Owners and admins set how many forward Manifest days feed Supply (Supply options or Group Settings). Members see the window read-only. Galley selections and Cargo restock are not date-filtered.

Credits note

Supply sync in the app does not spend AI credits. MCP supply sync uses rate limits instead — see MCP tools reference.

If buttons differ in the app, use Supply hub guidance on screen.
