To define an inventory kit each of the "ingredient" items must already be defined in the entrée system. Also a listing of all the ingredients required to make a batch of the product will be required. The batch quantities will have to be scaled down to the quantity required to make one unit when they are entered into the ingredients grid.

 

If the batch recipe yields 100 units of product, each quantity would have to be divided by 100.

 

1.When the kit item is defined in inventory file maintenance, enter the main item information.

 

 

2.Click on the Kits tab and add each ingredient that will make up the kit item.

 

3.Click the Apply button. This will update the cost information for the kit item. entrée maintains the kit item's cost information, using the costs of the ingredients that make up the kit item. The only way the cost of a kit item will be changed is if the cost of one or more of the ingredient items changes.

 

 

4.Any remaining data associated with the kit item may now be entered on the appropriate tab of inventory file maintenance, just like any other item in the entrée system.
