How can I calculate my food costs based on what I most recently received?

Update vendor item priorities automatically from receiving.

Vendor item-to-ingredient associations drive food costs in Galley. When there are multiple vendor items associated with an ingredient at a certain location, the top vendor item on the list (the highest priority) is used to calculate the cost of the ingredient and therefore the recipes where the ingredient is used. Which vendor item is the highest priority can be managed via drag-and-drop from an ingredient's detail page. To learn more about the basics of vendor item-to-ingredient associations, check out the article How do I link vendor items with ingredients? 

In addition to being updated manually, vendor item priorities can be updated automatically when inventory is received in Galley. This helps keep your Galley food costs in sync with the vendor items that you currently have in inventory. This feature is managed via the Set Vendor Item as the Top Priority When Received company setting. When enabled and a vendor item is received at a location, that vendor item will become the top priority vendor item for each ingredient it is associated with at that location.
