What's Changing?

It is now possible to create a simple single-ingredient recipe directly from the product list and product master screens.

Reason for the Change

Many items such as wines and spirits/liquor are sold in different units to the units that they are purchased in. For example, wine is bought in a 750ml bottle but could be sold in a 150ml glass, or whisky could be bought in a 700ml bottle but sold in 50ml measures. For such items, a recipe is required to enable point-of-sales inventory deductions. To make creating these recipes quicker and simpler there is now an option to create the recipe directly from the product screens. This allows a user to easily create the appropriate selling recipe when creating new or managing existing products.

Customers Affected

All Adaco customers who use recipes.

Release Note Info/Steps

There is a new option called Single Ingredient Recipe which will be available to any user who has access to create recipes. This new option can be accessed either by right-clicking a product on the main product listing page or from the product master form.

This new option will be available in Enterprise, Central Purchasing (CP) or a Property.

The new option will open a pop-up form where the following recipe details can be entered:

• Recipe name* - This is the internal recipe name and will be pre-populated with "Single Serving" appended to the product name. The default value can be overridden if required.
• Alternative description - This is the name that is passed to the Point of Sales system (where a 2-way POS integration is placed). This value will also be pre-populated as above but can also be overridden.
• Ingredient quantity* - The quantity of the ingredient in the recipe.
• Ingredient unit* - The unit of the ingredient in the recipe.
  Please note: Only units which can be converted to purchasable units will be available to select.
• PLU - This will open a form where one or more PLUs can be entered (either a default PLU used everywhere or specific PLUs per outlet). 
  Please note: PLUs have to be unique and the user will be warned and will not be able to save a recipe where the PLU is already in use.
• Account* - Used to specify an account for the recipe. This field may or may not be mandatory depending on the setting Administration > Property Preference > Customization > Mandate Account for Recipe 

Items marked with an * are mandatory
