Depleting Theoretical Inventory Levels Through Input of Sales Data

By updating the Volume Sold field, vendor item inventory can be decreased to account for sales data

Theoretical (calculated) inventory levels are depleted in Galley through sales data. Sales data is entered through your menus in the Volume Sold field for each menu item in Menus.

volumeSold-1

Each time the volume sold for a menu item is increased, the theoretical inventory of the vendor items that would be used to produce that menu item is decreased.

For all ingredients that can be found in each recipe, Galley will identify all vendor items associated at the menu's location. Galley will first try to decrease inventory from the primary vendor item. If the amount of the ingredient that was used in the sales is greater than what is on hand, Galley will decrease the balance of the next highest priority vendor item for the ingredient until either:

  • The sale has been fully accounted for
  • All of the associated vendor items are out of stock

If all of the vendor items become out of stock. but based on the sales volume, more inventory was used, the on-hand inventory of the primary vendor item will go negative.
