If the (inherited) option is selected in the Class field, the menu item window will be composed of the same panels as the window of the baseline item.

Shortcut indicates whether the draft menu item will be used as a shortcut for the draft menu item on which it is based.

Please choose between: No and Yes.

If Yes is selected, only baseline menu items will be presented in reports, but the volume of sales will track all sales of inherited menu items (menu item shortcuts). The No option makes it possible to separate sales of the baseline menu item from sales of inherited menu items.
