Product Components
The product components feature allows businesses to manage assembled products, track ingredient usage, and ensure accurate inventory records. This manual provides step-by-step instructions for setting up and managing product components.
Creating a Product Components Card
Define a Composite Product
Navigate to Operations ā Product Components.
Click
and select Product Components to create a new component.
Select the main product (e.g., a meal, gift set, or assembled package).
Add Components to specify the ingredients or sub-products.
Enter the quantity of each component used per unit of the main product.
Click Save to complete setup.
Automating Ingredient Write-Offs
Configuring Automatic Deductions
When a composite product is sold, its components will be automatically deducted from inventory.
Ensure that each ingredient has sufficient stock to prevent discrepancies.
Editing a Product Components Card
Modify Components for an Existing Product
Locate the product under Product Components.
Click Edit
to update ingredient quantities or add/remove components.
Save changes to apply updates.
Recalculating Costs
Adjust Selling Prices Based on Component Costs
Open the Product Components section.
Click the Recalculate Prices button. If the selected Product Components Cards contain other overlapping product components cards, the purchase price for them will also be recalculated.
Recalculation Process
Allow the recalculation process to complete. Once the process is successful, the updated purchase price will be recorded on the ready-made meal (ready dish) card.
š Note: Recalculating Product Components Cards may reveal deleted items. Prices won't update for these items, and ingredients won't be deducted upon sale. Replace deleted items or deactivate the card.
Best Practices
ā Regularly review component usage to ensure accurate stock records.
ā Use batch tracking for perishable ingredients.
ā Set alerts for low-stock components to avoid production delays.
