Specific item groups (possibly with subgroups) are needed for the following modules:
- PurchasingM: Purchase items
- Calculations, Item Details and RecipesM and Production WebAppM: Production items
- Online Shift Planning WebApp: staff role items and staff items
- 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.
- 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) - 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) - 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) - 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)
