The following information is displayed for the inventory Item, Area*, Store and Period displayed at the top of the page:

  • Menu Item: Lists the menu items that contain the inventory item.

  • Recipe: The name of the recipe that's currently mapped to the menu item (inventory items that are sold directly to the customer as a menu item may not have a recipe mapped to it).

  • Sales: This column is broken down to:

    • Sold: The quantity of the menu item that was sold.

    • Promo: The quantity of the menu item that was given for free.

    • Actual: The total quantity of the menu item that was either sold or given away.

      Actual = Sold + Promo

  • Inventory: The term in brackets is the unit of measurement in which the usage is measured. This column is broken down to:

    • Per: The quantity of the inventory item used per unit of the menu item (taken from the current recipe, if there's one mapped, else it is the Sales Multiplier of the menu item).

    • Total: The total quantity of the inventory item consumed through the menu item for the period.

      Total = Actual x Per

  • Report Method: The total (actual x per) recalculated in the unit of measurement that's selected as the Reporting Method for the supplier product An inventory item in a package size available from a particular supplier.. The unit of measurement is displayed in the header below Report Method.

  • Total from product mix sales using current recipes: The total quantity of the inventory item consumed, through all menu items sold (or given for free) during the period, as per current recipes in both units of measurement (inventory and report method). This is essentially the sum of each (the Inventory Total and Report Method) column and does not include fixed waste (if any).

  • Fixed Waste*: The total fixed waste assumed for the period (as set in Waste - Fixed/Reoccuring settings).

  • Total from current recipes plus fixed waste*: The total quantity of the inventory item consumed as per current recipes, with the addition of fixed waste.

    Total from current recipes plus fixed waste = Total from product mix sales using current recipes + Fixed Waste

  • Total from recipes at time of count plus fixed waste*: The total quantity of the inventory item used calculated as per what the recipes were at the time the closing count was performed, with the addition of fixed waste.

  • Variance*: The difference between total from current recipes plus fixed waste and total from recipes at time of count plus fixed waste.

    Variance = Total from product mix sales using current recipes - Total from recipes at time of count plus fixed waste - Fixed Waste*
