This article covers how Manufacturing is setup within BackOffice.
A Product can be Manufactured via BackOffice meaning that the Stock for that Product is not received from a Supplier but rather created from ingredients (other Products in the database).
When Stock is manufactured, the ingredients' Stock will be deducted at the time of Manufacture - not when the Product is sold.
Prerequisites
- To access Manufacturing Settings, the applicable Operator Privileges will need to be enabled:
-
Operator Maintenance 'Stock Control' Tab - General Stock Settings: 'Manufacturing Functions' flag
-
Operator Maintenance 'General' Tab - System Setup: 'Maintain Venue, Stores & Tills' flag
