The Inventory Item Management Recipe program allows you to add, update, and delete, Recipe Items linked to an Inventory Item. The DataGrid also provides a Print button the use of which allows you to print a Recipe Card for the item in question.
Generally speaking, VSI recommends creating Recipe Items before linking them to a Recipe. However, the program allows you to add new POS Recipe Item "on the fly," if desired. To create a new Recipe Item, go to POS Inventory Management • Add Recipe Item .
Note: Inactive Recipe Items cannot be added to a recipe.
