Release Note: Date Time Settings and Recipe Cost % Calculation

What’s Changing?

Date/time settings

User and organisation can specify their preferred time zone and date/time format. Fig.1 shows an example screenshot.
 

Fig.1 - Time zone and format settings

• Time zone and date/time representation will remain as they are currently represented in StarChef unless users choose to set an organisation or user preference
• For 'organisation' settings, please contact the Service Team
• For user settings, see User Profile (Admin > User > Select a user > Details tab)
• In the event that the user does not specify a date/time preference, the user’s date/time will default to the organisation settings
• ‘Pending price’ changes will continue to occur relative to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), not according to organisation time zone or user time zone.  Therefore, user-specified or organisation-specified date/time zone will not be reflected in the ‘view price history’ pop-up (Ingredients > Supply Details) or in the Ingredient Costs screen (Admin > Ingredient Costs > Base Cost > History pop-up)

Defect fix:  Recipe cost %

• This calculation has been refined (to seven decimal places) to significantly reduce the likelihood that the recipe cost % value will be greater than 100%.  (Recipe > Ingredients > Cost %).

b. The cost % displayed on screen and in the API remains as two decimal places.

Release Date: 17 May 2017
