How To: Reprocess Sales after Mapping Recipes on the POS Item Map




If sales have already been rang in on an item before recipe mapping is completed on the POS Item, ingredient depletion will not be applied on previous sales until the recipe is mapped and sales are reprocessed.


  1. Recipe created and attached to the POS menu item in the POS Item Map.
  2. User must have the Allow Reprocess Sales permission; otherwise the Reprocess Sales action will not be available. 




  1. After you map recipes in Item Management > POS Item Map, confirm mapping is complete by clicking Refresh on the POS Item Map (top task bar) and make sure no POS items remain needing recipes.

  2. Open Item Management > Recipes.

  3. In the recipes list, CRTL + click to highlight each recipe you mapped that you want to apply to past sales (You can reprocess one recipe at a time or select multiple).

  4. Click Reprocess Sales.

  5. In the date/time dialog, set the date and time to the moment you last reviewed your POS Item Map (or to just after a full physical inventory if one was completed more recently than your last POS map review). This ensures reprocessing only affects the correct historic window.

  6. Click OK.
    When the system finishes, a confirmation popup is displayed. The system will retroactively apply the recipe to prior imported sales and deplete the recipe ingredients accordingly.
