Requisitions
Collect what the kitchen needs, from the desktop or the chef app, and turn it into purchase orders by supplier.
A is a list of what the kitchen needs. Chefs raise them in the chef app, and managers can raise them on the desktop. A manager then turns a submitted requisition into purchase orders, one per supplier.
Open Inventory Manager > Requisitions. The Source column shows Chef App or Desktop.
Raise a requisition on the desktop
- Click Add New.
- Pick one or more ingredients, then enter the Quantity for each and any notes.
- Click Save Draft to come back later, or Submit when it is ready. Once submitted it cannot be edited.
Turn it into purchase orders
- Open the submitted requisition.
- Click Generate PO. Items are grouped by each ingredient's default supplier.
- Tick the supplier groups you want and click Generate.
Each purchase order is created as Pending. Approve and receive it as usual. See Purchase Orders.
Items that cannot be ordered
An item with no supplier, or with several suppliers and no default, is listed under Cannot PO. Give it a default supplier in Suppliers and prices, then open Generate PO again.
Short deliveries
When a delivery arrives short, or a line is rejected at receiving, the missing quantity is added to the next requisition automatically.
