Specific item groups (possibly with subgroups) are needed for the following modules:

  1. PurchasingM: Purchase items
  2. Calculations, Item Details and RecipesM and Production WebAppM: Production items
  3. Online Shift Planning WebApp: staff role items and staff items
  4. TicketingM: Ticketing items

The names of the groups and subgroups can be set at will, but the settings must be made as specified below.
Example: Purchase items could be called basic items, neutral items or base items, the subgroups of ticketing could be called events, tickets and menus.

  1. Purchase items: Purchase items refer to the raw goods as they are purchased from the supplier (not identical to supplier items, which are offered in different containers).
    Setting: Bookable, not as combo item, use only as a component
    Example: Top-level group purchase items, subgroups e.g. dry goods (pasta, spices), meat (beef, pork), produce (broccoli, red cabbage), dairy (milk, cream)
  2. Production items: Production items refer to items that are processed in-house and are only offered for sale as components and never on their own, or purchase items converted to a standard unit of 1kg/1 litre.
    Setting: Bookable, as combo item, use only as a component
    Example: Top group production item, subgroup production cold (peeled potatoes), production hot (poultry stock), production sweet (custard cream)
  3. Staff: Staff items designate both generic role items and actual individuals (with Shift and Staff Planning module only staff)
    Settings:
    Staff role: Staff > Default quantity = 0 > Sales items
    Staff member (individual): Staff > Staff member > Default quantity = 1 > Components, or for in-house and costing segments
    Example: top-group staff, subgroup service staff (service manager, cloakroom attendant, Franz Klein)
  4. Ticketing: Ticketing items mean both the public event and the admission tickets and other additional items
    Setting: Bookable, combo item, sales item
    Example: Top group Ticketing, Subgroup Public Event (Christmas Panto), Admission tickets (category 1-4), Additional items (menu 1-3)
