It's now possible to enter utility and other general costs such as water, electricity and 3rd party packaging fees against a batch. Rather than needing to create these as stock items, you can now enter them with simply a name and a cost under the "Utility/other costs" tab on a batch.

Costs are assigned to specific actions on the batch, so general utility costs can be assigned to batch creation and affect the entire batch, whilst 3rd party packaging fees can be assigned just to a specific packaging.
