Inactive Items in Recipes Affecting COGS in Physical Inventory Reporting

Inactive items in recipes cause COGS reporting to be incorrect.

WHO IT AFFECTS: F&B users that build recipes to map to point of sales menu items for Actual vs. Theoretical Reporting.

WHY: Inactive items are not included in physicals. This causes revenue attached to these items to not be included in COGS reporting.

HOW TO IDENTIFY: Run the advisor report. Object type is Recipe, Category is Inactive Item and Action is Remove.

HOW TO RESOLVE: Remove inactive item from recipe. Replace with active item if item has been switched with a different ingredient.

WORKFLOW/PREVENTATIVE MEASURE: Always check the advisor report before physical inventories and resolve issues.
