Recipe Items Page

This article reviews the Recipe Items page within Smart Ops. Here, Users can view, edit, and create Recipe Item Records.

Overview

The Recipe Items page lists all active and inactive Recipe Item Records that have been created in the database. 

Recipe Items, along with Purchased Items and Sales Items, make up Inventory in R365. Extra care should be taken when creating these various Inventory Items, as they will have a lasting financial impact on Inventory Counts and Menu Item to Recipe Assignments. 

Recipes are linked to Menu Items, and drive theoretical usage calculations. It is recommended that a Recipe Item Record is created for each Recipe and Sub-Recipe that will be reported on or used for Actual vs. Theoretical Analysis. An unlimited number of Recipes and Sub-Recipes can be created in the R365 Operations Module. Once a Recipe has been created, it can then be used as an Ingredient (a Sub-Recipe) on any other Recipe. 

Recipes can also be counted during Inventory Counts when tagged as 'Available in Inventory'. When tagged, additional settings for Inventory UofM and Item Categories will be active for the Recipe Item Record.
