3. Select **Product Testing** as your Update Stock Level type.
4. Add the quantity of the material you used for testing.
5. Click **Update**.
## Create a Production Run
With this option, the produced products will not go into your inventory, and will essentially just be discarded (as if you sent them directly to a wholesale customer).
1. From your dashboard, make sure you select **Production**.
2. In the upper-right-hand corner, select **New Production Run**.
3. Select **Fulfilling an Order** as your Production Run Type
4. Enter your **Production Details**.
5. Click **Save**.
