Overview
Resto iQ offers multi-unit capabilities for each inventory item, allowing for various units of measurement. Take "Flour" as an example: purchasing officers order it by the sack, the kitchen measures it in grams, and management prefers to view reports in kilograms.
How to Access
Users can go to Inventory > My Inventory > Add Inventory. Upon clicking "Add Inventory", scroll down and you will see "Units".
Guide
All units must be preconfigured before performing this step. This is achieved by going to Inventory > My Inventory > Units.
-
Stock Unit
This is the primary unit of measurement which will be used by Resto iQ unless otherwise stated/labeled. Commonly, this will be found in inventory reports and in inventory item lists. In this example, it is "Kilogram". -
Recipe Unit
This is the unit of measurement Resto iQ will use when the inventory item is being used for creating sub-recipes or finished goods. In this example, the UoM is "gram". This is because when the kitchen uses the Flour, they measure in grams.
-
Purchase Unit
This is the unit of measurement Resto iQ will use when the inventory item is purchased from suppliers (via the Purchasing module). In this example, despite having a stock and recipe unit, the purchasing department/officers order Flour not in kilograms or grams, but in Sacks; this is perhaps because the supplier delivers the good in sacks. In this example, we have entered "sack" for the purchase unit, and the proper conversion of 1 sack = 50 kilograms.
