Recipe Management

Setting up Recipes for Products

The Sourced From screen is used for setting up Product recipes. When a Reciped Product is sold, the ingredients will be drawn from stock according to the Location and Order Type selected. The default for these items is all Locations and all order types.

The Reciped Items screen is used to view those Reciped Items that use the Product selected.

Before setting up the recipes you have to decide how you are going to manage your Inventory system because the Recipes are critical to a range of functions in the software. Below are examples of Recipes used in the hospitality industry:

To Be Considered

Access to assign Suppliers to Reciped Items can now be restricted via Clerk Security Groups by unselecting the Add Recipe Items to Supplier option in Clerk Group Permissions > Products > Product Records > Add Supplier Data.
Note : All Liquor Suppliers in Australia and NZ link their Supplier Code to the single unit (for example, the Stubby), not the carton or 6 pack. So when configuring the Product in SwiftPOS, ensure that the single unit is a Purchased Item, and the 6 pack and carton are Reciped Items with a case quantity of 6 and 24 respectively.

Notes

In the Packaged Beer example above, the Sell size of Package Beer has been setup so that SwiftPOS will automatically calculate SOH levels based on the calculated quantity. For example, selling a carton of beer will result in the SOH for the single beer (Bottled Beer Stubby 375ml) being reduced by 24.
The Case Qty is used for ordering purposes and represents the number of single units in a case or carton. In the Packaged Beer example above, the Case Qty for the Bottled Beer Stubby 375ml would be set to 24. This would mean that these can only be ordered by the carton containing 24 single Stubbies. If however, the Carton (24 Pack) was to be considered the Purchased Item, then the Case Qty would be set to 1. If it was set to 24, then this would mean that placing an order for 1 carton would actually add 24 cartons to your SOH level against the Carton.
