Sales Groups

Overview:

Sales Groups only need to be set up if you plan to enter Sales counts for Sales Items (recipe items that are sold) manually. A Sales Group can be selected when Sales counts are entered to populate the items that appear on the Sales Entry grid. Sales groups can also be used to organize sales reporting.

Default to Display by Sequence: If you plan to put the Sales Items you assign to a Sales Item Group in a sequence that can be used for the display on the Sales Count Entry, then you can select display by sequence as the default (the default can be overridden).

Available to all Sites: If you have multiple Sites, and if you want this Sales Item Group to be available to all Sites, then check this box. If you do not check this box, a tab will appear for selecting the Sites you want this group to be assigned to.

Items Tab:

The Items Tab is for selecting the Sales Items to assign to a Sales Item Group. It uses the standard dual list box for available and selected items. An example is shown below:

Available and Selected: Listed under the Available column are all the Items that are available to be assigned to this Group, but have not been assigned. Listed under the Selected column are all the Items that have been assigned to this Group. To move an Item from one selection to another, check the box by the Item or Items you want to move and then hit the arrow direction < or > that you want to move them to.

Control the Order that Items Display or List: You can control the sequence that the selected items will display or list within a group using the Drag and Drop Button. To move a selected item up or down in the list, click on the button next to the item you want to move, hold the click, and drag the Item up or down the list with your mouse. 

Copy Items from Another Group: Items can be copied from another group using the "Copy Items" button at the bottom of the dual list box. The Items in the group that you select to copy from, will end up in the Selected column. Below is an example of the Copy Items feature if you click on the Copy Items button:

You can use the drop-down to select the group that you wish to copy from. The copied items will go into the selected Items list box underneath any items you may have already selected. If you check the box for updating the order of existing items, you will be able to change the order of the items after they are copied. 

Sites Tab:

Available and Selected: Listed under the Available column are all the Sites that are available to be assigned to this Group. Listed under the Selected column are all the Sites that have been assigned to this Group.
