Item and Recipe Management

This window is probably one of the most powerful and simplest to use in the program.  You can view, open and edit each Item items-24x24, Prep prep-24x24 or Product . The list will identify which recipes are linked to each Prep and Item.

NOTE:  This is used to make an item or recipe inactive.

To open, click the Item and Recipe Management  IRM icon on the Main Menu Toolbar. All inventory items and recipes will be listed on the left.  As you scroll down the list you will see some items in bold text, these are items or recipes contained in other recipes, click to display the recipes on the list on the right.

Description Search - Allows you to search for item or recipe by name/description. Type a few letters to filter the list.

 This is a great feature when looking to identify ‘dead’ items or perhaps duplicate items that are not contained or used in any recipes.
