Function Orders, previously known as Recipe Orders, have undergone some changes to help improve usability. Check out the Creating a Function Order help guide for a step-by-step process on how to create a Function Order.
What has changed?
Renamed to Function Order
If you've been around for a while you might be used to seeing 'Recipe Order'. It has now been renamed to Function Order to better reflect its main purpose.
Excess Stock
There is now a new section on the Function Order called Excess Stock. The purpose of this section is to add stock items to your Function Order that aren't already included as ingredients within a Recipe.
Left Over Tab
The Left Over tab allows you to record whether there were left over items that were not utilised during the function. These items can then be returned to your stock for future use without impacting your Function Costing.
Function Costing Improved Accuracy
Function Costing data is now historically accurate. The Recipe cost data is now saved to the Function Order at the time of creating the orders. This means that if, in the future, a Recipe Costing changes due to an ingredient price increase or Recipe change, the Function Costing report will not be impacted.
Additionally, the values on the Function Costing page are based on predicted values until the Function Order left overs are saved. For accurate Function Costing based on actual invoiced values, complete the process by saving your leftovers!
