Managing substitutions

Introduction

Within IndiCater you can manage those products you may have in your supplier catalogue which can be accepted as substitutions but shouldn't be ordered.

This can only be done if those items have been added to your catalogue by your supplier.

Once an item has been tagged as a substitute, it's not visible to order when creating a purchase order but it can be added to an order during the booking off process and it is also available to record stock of when stocktaking.

Where to find this

This can be managed in Head Office, Recipe Manager, Records
