Generating a shopping list is as powerful as you wish to make it. In this form you will make the choices of what and when you want to generate the list for. You will be adding specific items in the system, even can add all the safety stock items or specific ones, recipes, even other shopping lists can be added to this one list. This is a snapshot of a moment though and any calculated safety stocks become static and can change if there is a long wait.
Choosing the shopping list type informs the system of your intent when actually using the list when viewed. It will inform the system if it should completely delete the list (known as a "Temporary" list) or if it should just change the states of all items to new (known as a "Permanent" list). Permanent lists would be used for reoccuring lists that never change and can be reused. Temporary lists will generally be used when generating a huge one time list, or something small that you just want to track quickly.
Fill out the basic info asked for here, the description could be helpful to remind yourself and others what the list was generated for. The shopping list name must be unique!
