Yellow Dog Inventory 2026
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
The Store
Editor is where you review and adjust how each store behaves in Yellow Dog
Inventory: its accounting identifiers, cost calculation, closeout method,
purchasing permissions, addresses, and notification emails. These settings
shape how a store transfers product, what it can purchase, and how its
documents print, so they affect day-to-day work across the store.
Open it from System Setup > Stores and select a store to
edit. Access is generally limited to admin users.
|
Note: Only Yellow Dog team members can create
stores, and the Store Key can only be set by Yellow Dog. To add a new store,
contact your Account Manager to start that process.
|
HOW IT WORKS
The Store
Editor is organized into tabs along the side. Most settings live on the Store
Details tab; the others cover addresses, emails, warehouse relationships, and
attributes.

KEY FEATURES
Store
identifiers and accounting
Review and edit
the store’s Accounting ID, Company ID, Revenue Center, Square Feet, Store Type,
and Notes. Store Type acts as a descriptive note (for example, Quick Service or
Full Service Restaurant) that can appear on reports and print templates.
Closeout
method, start of day, and time zone
Set a per-store
Closeout Method from the dropdown. This is a perpetual rolling date, so you do
not have to reset it; when it differs from the global closeout date, the system
honors whichever is more recent. Set the Start of Day (usually midnight, or later
for venues that attribute after-midnight sales to the prior day) and the
store’s time zone.
Store
behaviors
Toggle
behaviors that change how a store participates in transfers, production, and
concessions workflows:
|
BEHAVIOR
|
WHAT IT DOES
|
|
Warehouse
|
Marks the store as a supply
location for others, which unlocks additional resupply reporting.
|
|
Production
Transfer Store
|
Marks a store that produces goods
(recipes) for transfer to other locations as finished product, so ingredients
are deducted from this location on transfer.
|
|
Inter-Company
Department
|
A store that holds no inventory
but receives items to be consumed by a department, such as Accounting or
Marketing. Has auto-zero enabled and other restrictions.
|
|
Stand
|
Includes the store in the
Concessions workflow. Visible only when the Stand Sheets module is enabled.
|
|
Stand
Returns After Event
|
Marks the stand as a hawker, a
non-fixed outlet that returns product to the warehouse after an event.
|
|
EPCs
/ RFID Tags
|
Lets the outlet generate EPCs and
print RFID tags. Used primarily by Retail clients.
|
Worksheet and
purchasing permissions
Allow or
prevent each store from creating each worksheet type (Replenishment,
Production, Order Desk) and each purchasing document type (Requests, Purchase
Orders, Receipts, Invoices, Returns to Vendor, and transfers). Transfers are
split into transfer in and transfer out, so a store can be limited to one
direction. For stores that use bidding with Order Desk, you can also choose the
preferred bid selection method.
Addresses and
notification emails
Store ship-to
and bill-to addresses for use in print templates. On the Email Addresses tab,
enter recipients for three notifications: Requests, Staged Invoice
Notifications, and Staged Invoice Questions.
|
Note: When you enter more than one email address in
a field, separate them with semicolons and no spaces.
|
Warehouse and
store relationships
On the
Warehouses and Stores tabs, link each store to its approved warehouse and view
which stores a warehouse supplies. This is used primarily by Concessions
clients.
BEST PRACTICES
Confirm setup
before changing behaviors
• Store behaviors such as Warehouse, Production
Transfer, and Inter-Company Department change how inventory moves. Confirm the
intended setup with your Implementation Guide or Support before toggling them.
• Set worksheet and purchasing permissions to
match what each store should be able to do, so users only see the documents
relevant to their location.
Keep
notifications and addresses current
• Enter request and staged-invoice recipient
emails so the right people are notified, using semicolons with no spaces for
multiple addresses.
