Editing an ingredient
เนื้อหานี้ยังไม่มีในภาษาของคุณ
Every row in your ingredient list opens here. You set what it is called, who sells it to you, and what it costs.
The rule
A number lives in one place. Change the cost here and every recipe that uses it changes on its own. The same number kept in two places is a bug.
How it works
- Name and kind. The name, the level (L1 you buy, L2 you make, L3 you sell whole), the category and the supplier’s own product code.
- Units. You buy in one unit and cook in another. Write 1 bottle = 750 ml once and nobody does that sum again.
- Cost. The last price you paid, the list price, and the yield percentage. A beef shoulder is about 94% usable after trim, so the trim is not free.
- Supplier. Open the Suppliers tab, find another approved product and press Set as preferred. The cost is worked out again from that supplier’s pack size.
Good to know
- One cost edit moves everything above it. Recipes change, preps made from them change, and the margin on your menu changes. You never edit those by hand.
- Set the unit when you make the row and leave it. Old numbers do not change themselves.
- The History tab shows every change: the old value, the new value, who did it and when. Look here first when a number surprises you.
- Two rows for the same thing? Use Merge, not archive. It moves every recipe and supplier link onto the row you keep.
- Stock and par boxes are hidden. This venue costs its pantry, it does not count it.
