the same general product but from different vendors and/or different pack size

Swankee — Sat, 20 Apr 2024 01:20:54 GMT

so lets say I have a case of 18-22 ct bacon. it comes from one vendor in a 20 lb box and a different vendor in a 15 lb box. how do i tell x-tra chef that it is the same bacon? if i do not, i will not be able to build a recipe unless the product is bought exclusively from a specific vendor? the ame can be said for the brands and or size of mayonaise (maybe a gallon jug or a 25 lb tub. How do we tell x-tra chef that it is the same product, just a differrent size container?

This might be a question to ask our xtraChef training team (sign up link below). I also attached some articles below about inventory questions.

So you are going to create a product and set the UOM to lb for your bacon and have the invoice item be 1case pack 15 lb

or many comes case 1 pack of 4 uom 1 gal
