RECIPES
There are two main types of recipes :-
Saleable items
Firstly where both the items are saleable products and they are linked together for stock
taking purposes
i.g. Pint and Half of Beer
Both are sold through the POS terminal. The half however is a recipe using the pint as
an ingredient with a quantity of 0.5.
Example 1
Recipe Item Half Pint of Beer
Ingredients Pint of Beer Quantity 0.5
Stock Recipes
The second type of receipt is where a number of ingredients are linked to one recipe to
ensure the stock of the items making up that product is correct.
i.e. a Ham Sandwich is a saleable recipe with the ingredients being 2 slices of bread and
3oz of Ham.
Both the bread and the ham, will be a Product Code which exists with a zero ECR code.
This will prevent the bread or ham from being sold individually at the terminal, only the
Ham sandwich recipe item can be sold.
Example 2
Recipe Item Ham Sandwich
Ingredients Sliced Bread Bought as a Loaf with 32 Slices Qty 2.00 (2 Slices)
Roast Ham Bought as a 2 lbs or 32 ounces Qty 3 (3oz)
When the Product Codes are created for the sliced bread and the ham, the Stock Unit
will be how the product is purchased i.e. a loaf of bread or a pound of ham. The sales
units will then be set as the lowest usable unit within a recipe i.e. 32 ounces in a 2
pounds of ham or 32 slices in a loaf of bread. Then as the recipe is created the quantity
for the ingredients reflects the number of sales units that item uses i.e. 2 slices of bread
or 3oz of ham.
