Update Recipes to use #1-Ranked Alternate Ingredient
- Enabled by default? - No
- Set up by customer Admin? - Yes, via a User Group permission
- Enable via Support ticket? - No
- Affects configuration or data? - Yes, could affect Recipe data if enabled
What's Changing?
A new link (and a new permission) to allow users to update all Recipes to use the 'number one ranked' alternate Ingredient. Allows users to update multiple Recipes at once.
Reason for the Change
When Recipes are created, the Recipe ingredient cost is taken from the 'top-ranked alternate ingredient' at the time the Recipe is created. If the ranking of the alternate ingredients changes, Recipes are not automatically recalculated to use the new 'top-ranked alternate'.
With this new link on the Alternate Ingredient screen, users can opt to update all Recipes to reference the 'top-ranked alternate ingredient' for Recipe ingredient cost calculation.
Customers Affected
Available to all customers using alternate ingredients.
Release Note Info/Steps
A new User Group permission has been added to Recipe permissions (see Fig.4). When enabled, a link will display on the Alternate Ingredient screen.
Fig.4 - New User Group permission to allow the update of all recipes with the top-ranked alternate
Fig.5 - New link that will display for users with permission to update all recipes with the top-ranked alternate
Please note: Recipe 'View' and 'Edit' are not required for the new link to be visible.
Please note: The new link will behave like the create alternate link, i.e. is only visible when the parent Ingredient is in 'read' mode.

Hello
Regarding the cost modelling link on starchef it a great addition.However i think it will be impossible to manually do that ingredient by ingredient.
Can you please enable a link to bulk do that fuctikn for all ingredients ?
Many thanks
