Item Editor Overview

FOOD-TRAK, like conventional FOOD-TRAK is a database management system. It uses the information you supply to give you back information you can use. One of the most basic building blocks of your database is the item. The system requires quite a bit of information about each item you use, be it foods and beverages, recipes, cleaning supplies, or even tap water. The device you use to enter all that necessary data is the Item Editor.

The Editor consists of several tabs, the names of which appear on its left panel. Here you enter pertinent information about each item you use in your establishment. Such information consists of full and abbreviated names, whether the item is inventoried, sold, purchased, or is a recipe, unit size information, Inventory Locations, as well as purchasing and sales information.

The Item Editor Help indicates the type of information that should be placed in each field of each tab.
