Pack Size Barcode: This field allows you to specify the pack size quantity barcode either from the box’s UPC or your own barcode data. Place the cursor in this field and use the scanner to scan the barcode into the field.

Each Item Barcode: This field allows you to enter a barcode for each individual item in the pack size. For example, each bottle of Budweiser in the case will also have a barcode that will be needed to calculate the inventory totals.

Total Items Per Pack Size: If you have specified the Each Item Barcode, you should specify the total items per pack size in this field. You’re basically telling the computer how many individually packed items there are per each pack size

description. For example, take the “Case of 24 Bottles” as a scenario. The Total Items Per Pack Size should be “24” since there are 24 bottles in a case.

Recipe Units / Pack Size: This field allows you to specify how much each of the pack size quantity will yield for the menu item recipe. For example, if the pack size quantity was a case of beef weighing 80 lbs. and your recipes call for ounces, you would enter “1280” to signify that there are 1280 recipe units per pack size. ( 80 pounds at 16 ounces per pound)

If you notice the

number in this field to be a decimal instead of a whole number, it’s because the amount on hand is a decimal of the pack size and not the item size. For example, if you have a case of soda with 24 cans and you deplete one can the remaining will be 23/24 of a full case.

Cost Per Pack Size Qty: This field allows you to specify the cost per each of the pack size quantity currently on hand. You should only modify this field when you are first setting up the inventory information.
