Sidebar:

There are a lot of features in COGS-Well for setup, maintenance, data entry, listings, and reports. The Sidebar Menu "Sidebar" simplifies navigation between these features and is more intuitive for many Users. It also includes a "feature search" and an option to "pin" the menu which can be helpful.

Alphabetic Display for Items in a Storage Location:

There is now an option in the Assign Items to Storage Locations feature to display the items that have been assigned in alphabetic order. If you have quite a few items in a storage location, and they are in storage location order, then this is a way to view the assigned items in alphabetic order.

Last Sold Date for a Sales Item:

The Recipe Item Find Grid now has a column that can be selected via the Column Chooser for the "Last Sold Date". The Recipe Item Setup display now has an added field for the last sold date. This field has also been added to the Mass Edit Recipe Items Column Chooser. This field can help identify items that may be ready to be made inactive:

This report is helpful if you are entering waste counts for Sales Items and you want to see waste cost as a percentage of sales for Sales Items or Sales Categories. Please click this link for more information on the Theoretical Cost of Waste Report. An example of the report is shown below:
