Production Groups
Overview:
Production Groups are used to organize Recipe Items that you produce (Production Items) into groups that simplify data entry or enhance reporting.
Things to know!
- This feature will only be accessible and visible to users who are given access to it.
- Production Groups are not required. They are helpful, however, for simplifying Production Worksheets and Production data entry.
- A Production Item can be assigned to multiple Groups.
Production Groups - Expanded Definition:
The Production Worksheet can be printed for a specific Production Group. The screen for entering Production can display for a specific Production Group. So if you would like to see only certain Production Items on the worksheet or entry screen, then you could create a Production group and assign those Items to this Group.
Add or Edit Production Groups:
To add, review, edit, or delete Production Groups, use the Sidebar to navigate to the Manage Production menu option and then select the feature. Upon selection, a "Find Grid" similar to the one below will display a listing of all of your Groups:
Find Grid Definitions:
+ Add, Export, and Search Options:
- The blue "+ Add" button is used to add a new transaction.
- The "XLSX" button will export the information on the grid to a spreadsheet.
- The search option can find any part of a word or date on the grid. When you start typing your search criteria, the search will be initiated.
Edit/Delete: Click the Edit or Delete button to the right on the row of the Item that you wish to edit or Delete.
Production Item Group Tab:
If you select to add or edit a Production Group, a screen like the one below will display:
Item Group Name: Give your Production Item Group a name (required field)
Active: Active is the default setting for this field and Active is indicated by a checkmark. If you click on the box and remove the checkmark, the Group will become inactive, but can later be made active again.
Available to All Sites: The system default is to make a Group available to all of your Sites. If you want to assign a Group to only the Sites that apply, then click the box to remove the checkmark and a tab for assigning Sites to this Group will be made available. This option is only available if you are logged into your Company (versus a site).
