Set up rules to direct deductions to the specific storage locations. For example, lemons may be used in the kitchen to prepare salads and in the bar for cocktails.
Deductions by stations
Set up a separate storage location for each station so that selling a dish prepared at a particular station, would automatically deduct the ingredients from the designated storage location.
Go to Access → Locations in the management console.
Click Edit next to the location login.
Scroll down to the Inventory section.
Select Configure each station separately in Settings.
Scroll down to Station section.
Assign storage locations to each station.
Click Save.
Now, when selling a cocktail that is prepared at the bar, the lemon will be deducted from the Bar storage location. If you sell a salad that is prepared in the kitchen, it will be deducted from the Kitchen storage location.
☝️ By default, Poster deducts sold ingredients from the storage location that most recently received a supply or a transfer of that specific ingredient.
Deductions by register and station
In case your business has multiple stations and more than one POS register, set up deduction rules by registers and stations.
For example, the POS register 'A' would deduct ingredients from the storage 'A', and the POS register 'B' would deduct ingredients from the storage 'B'.
To do this, select Configure each register and station separately in Settings. Assign storage locations to each register and station and save changes.
