Can I sell items by weight?
Issue: You have deli items that are sold by weight and want the items on hand on to deduct appropriately when sold at the point of sale. An example would be Chicken Salad.
Resolution: Use the Calculate Qty by Retail function. This configuration typically occurs during implementation, and if you need if you need it configured after your implementation is complete, please Click Here to request assistance from support.
Prior to having support configure your item confirm the following:
- Confirm that the recipe you wish to sell by weight has been created, and for the most accurate tracking of this recipe confirm that is has a Net Weight/Volume assigned. Click Here for additional information on Recipes and creating them.
- Confirm the recipe is attached to an Inventory Item and has the appropriate Recipe Behavior attached. The only things this item will need to have configured are the description, and size that you will be counting as. As a note the default Recipe Behavior when attaching a recipe to an inventory item is Retail Kit, and that will need to be updated to Batch or Production. Click Here for additional information recipe behaviors.
- Yellow Dog Support or your Implementation Guide will configure the Calculate Quantity by Retail to be: 1 Yes – Quantity =Total Retail/YDIitemretail
This example of Chicken Salad has a retail of $5.99 a pound at the point of sale. With this configuration, now when $2.99 worth of Chicken Salad is sold Yellow Dog will know to deduct a ½ pound of Chicken Salad from your inventory.
