Article summary

Purchased items, along with Recipe Items and Sales Items, make up the Inventory in R365. Purchased items are created by R365 users, and when creating items, users should account for every item used in the restaurant. R365 recommends creating an individual Purchased Item Record for each item used throughout Restaurants. Items may include ingredients, spices, supplies, paper, packaging and so on.

Once an item has been created, it can be counted on inventory counts, used as Ingredients in recipes, and reported on in My Reports. The R365 Ops Team is available to help during the setup the initial Inventory Database in R365. 

Once created, existing purchased items can be viewed in Smart Ops on the Items page. Here, users can view items, edit item details, and assign items to location groups. 

Location groups are used to define which items can be used by each location. By assigning location groups to items, users will only be able to view and edit items that are associated with the location(s) they have access to. Learn more about location groups in Smart Ops here
