Stock item recalculation is used to edit store documents that have already been processed.
Stock item recalculation enables the user to make changes to two or more already processed store documents without changing their status.
Modes of recalculation:
The Recalculate mode is used, when changes made to recipes in the directory need to be reflected in specifications of store document, which have been run on the store.
For example, it can be applied when some changes are made to recipes of compound stock items or to cold preparation or cooking wastages. The mode makes it easy to manage seasonal variations of cold preparation wastages.
Example 1
The Sweet pepper stock item should have been added to the recipe of the Vegetable salad compound stock item on the 1st of March. However, the necessary changes were made to the
directory only on the 12th of March. Therefore, the Sweet pepper stock item was not accounted for in all the store documents which were created from March 1 to 12 and which incorporate the Sweet pepper stock item.
In order to add the Sweet pepper stock item to specifications of these documents, the user should recalculate stock items in the Recalculate mode.
As a result, the Sweet pepper stock item will be added to specifications of all the documents. It will make possible to calculate how much sweet pepper was used over the period from 1st to 12th of March.
As far as the Recalculate with conversion ratio and Substitute stock item modes are concerned, changes will be made only to specifications of store documents. However, no changes will be made to the directory.
The Recalculate with conversion ratio mode is used when changing stock item volumes included in store document specifications.
Example 2
For example, our enterprise has launched the Double omelette advertising campaign. It means that instead of one chicken egg - as specified in the
directory - cooks will take two chicken eggs to prepare the Cheese omelette compound stock item.
This change to the recipe will be valid only till the end of the campaign. That is why, there is no need to alter the recipe of Cheese omelette in the
directory. In order to take into account an increase in the usage of chicken eggs during the campaign, stock items should be recalculated in the Recalculate with conversion ratio mode. The recalculation ratio (2) should be specified.
As a result, the usage of chicken eggs will double in all the documents related to the campaign.
The Substitute stock item mode is used when one stock item needs to be changed to another one on store document specifications. Also, a ratio for changing can be specified.
Example 3
For example, cooks used the Cream powder stock item instead of Pasteurized whole milk. According to substitute rates, 100 g of Pasteurized whole milk can be substituted with 16 g of Cream powder.
In this case the stock items should be recalculated in the Substitute stock item mode. The user should specify the substitute stock item (Cream powder) and ratio (0.16).
As a result, Pasteurized whole milk will be substituted with Cream powder, which makes up 16% of the volume of Pasteurized whole milk.
