Please see below for links to 3 Inventory release notes.

The release date for all three was 27th August 2019.

The functionality detailed in each release note can be enabled upon request to Fourth.

Inventory Release Note: Suggested Orders to Ordering app

What’s Changing?

Integration of suggested orders with the Ordering application. On generation of a suggested order within Inventory, based on forecast, a list will be sent to create the suggested order for visibility within the Ordering app.

Reason for the Change

The change allows suggested orders generated in Inventory to be persisted to the Ordering application.

Inventory Release Note: Purchasing > Menu Cycles Forecast Integration

What’s Changing?

Within the Menu Cycles application a production plan can be manually captured for each meal period and day. Inventory will consume the production plan as forecast data, in turn enabling processes running off forecast, i.e. Suggested Ordering.

Reason for the Change

For customers using the Menu Cycles application with Inventory the profile of sales may not be consistent due to the varied nature of the offer. Therefore the production plan is taken as the forecast for utilisation in calculation of suggested orders.

Inventory Release Note: Buffet Menu Items > POS & Distribution to Stock

What’s Changing?

Within the Menu Cycles app buffet menu items can be planned and sold. On receipt of post-production information, as input in the Menu Cycles application, the composition of the buffet for each day is utilised for accurate depletion of inventory and assignment of revenue in the Inventory product.

Reason for the Change

Depletion of Inventory for buffet menu items has always been problematic as accurate data on the composition of this type of menu item has not been available. With the introduction of the Menu Cycles application this data is now captured and can therefore be used for depletion and revenue assignment based on utilisation.
