Help to get report on content list of cash transactions / purchase invoices

1

hi

  1. I run restaurant

  2. I want to know how many green onions, soy sauces, ribeye steaks we’ve purchased last month

  3. I cannot use inventory because it keep adds my spending to my asset, so I had to use non-inventory items.

  4. I cannot use production orders because I don’t know how much soy sauce we use to make how many dishes…actually I am posting a help to figure out this.

so…basically what I am asking is

can I extract a list or report of “contents” of cash transactions and/or purchase invoices?

if someone know how to do with custom report, please help.

thanks

ok I found one, General Ledger Transactions.
I think I can copy this report to excel then put unit cost, supplier and whatever I need to make another report.
thanks

the system doesn’t support Receipi Function ( May be Production Order is a soultion but not for Resturant Business) where it control the invetory and being a ware about the cost for every raw material.

In my case I am using Purchase invoice to add them to the invertory then it is your choice to make Invertory write off every day or week or month to know and control the actual quantity of your invetory. Usually, any item will be taken from the invetory I will consider this item as Cost of Food ( inventory Cost) or Packing Cost. following this method will keep your eye on every thing, you will be able to forcast the monthly, weekly order and it will give you an accurate inforamtion. for the PL statement.

In resturant businesss there is Daily inventory count for the Golden Item, Weekly for Seliver and Monthly inventory count. for control purposes, to know the cost of disposed food, to review the daily production plan. and other things

At the beggining of using manager I don’t have inventory so, I was distributing all the expenses to the consired account, it end up with no control of inventroy, my Profit and Loss Account it is not accurate, because at the end of every month in reality you have inventroy.

In realty I don’t know, how many one using manager for resturant business, but if there are quite enghou number of user to request some extra function for this industry. or you need to use a third party system.

I hope the subject of Production Orders - Enhancements will help and cosider more improvement to make the system capable to handel more industry operations. Production Orders - Enhancements

I know that might be some inforamtion not relvant to this subject, but since it is about resturant business I want to draw, the attention of the system developer. to consider some function for the resturant industry even if it will be as Add On Services

Yes, and that was the question, not how to delete the topic.

@DINERS and @abdulbari, also consider whether everything you buy needs to be tracked in inventory. Or even whether it can be tracked. Ribeye steaks can certainly be tracked. But soy sauce? Or cinnamon? Or salt? Maybe not. Some items are probably best handled as consumable expenses since they are used in many individual dishes or orders and cannot really be counted.

Or track them only for the bulk purchases. For example, you buy a case of soy sauce. But once you open a single container, that one is written off to consumable supplies.

Actually, that’s what they were asking - once they had found their own solution to their own question.
It’s just that they used the word “Post” instead of “Topic” - which is till a post.
