Development is the process of creating a new stock item, in which its recipe and method of preparation are developed and its wastages as a result of cold processing and/or cooking are estimated.
Development is used to determine cold preparation and cooking wastages, the quantities of ingredients required in a recipe and to calculate the cost price of the final product.
The results of development are used when adding new items to the directory and to the directory and for creating calculation sheets for compound items.
Development operations are documented by development records. The specification of a development record describes experiments carried out in the course of developing the recipe. A salad, for example, could be prepared three times during development. Each of these three attempts is an . From the results, we can determine the preparation wastage percentages and average quantities for each of the ingredients in the recipe.
Before writing up a development record, the ingredients and the final product must be entered into the directory. Changes are made to the properties of these items on the basis of development results (ingredients, their quantities and preparation wastage and the volume of the final product).
Different statuses can be assigned to a development record depending on what stage it is at in the workflow. These statuses are assigned by the user. The value is selected from the following list:
Not ready
Ready
Registered
The Deleted status is automatically applied to a development record when it is deleted.
When a development record is created, it has the status Not ready. When the Ready or Registered status has been applied, the document becomes read-only and can no longer be edited or deleted. The document can be run on the store once the Registered status has been applied. As a rule, after processing of the development record by the storekeeping system, stock items included in its specification are deducted from store. Stock items included in the specification can be assigned an attribute to allow the selected stock items not to be deducted from store.
Stock items in the specification of the stocktaking record also have statuses. These statuses are automatically assigned when the document has been processed by the storekeeping system.
A document specification item can have one of the the following states:
OK – denotes that processing was successful
Not enough on hand in store – occurs if the amount of a stock item specified in a development record is greater than the amount of that stock item on hand in the store
Cost price loop – cost price of the stock item cannot be calculated because the record documenting the consumption of the stock item links to the record documenting the addition of the stock item and vice versa. It means that the record documenting the addition of the stock item links to the record documenting the consumption of the stock item
