To be ready to use with Inventory, your menu must meet the following criteria:

Use With Inventory is selected in the Menu Root General tab (see Turn on Inventory and Add UOMs).

All units of measure that you use for measuring stock items or ingredients are included on the Menu Root Units of Measure tab (see Turn on Inventory and Add UOMs).

All items or modifiers that you want to track usage of are included in the Menu Tree in a "Stock Items" or "Modifiers" group, including packaging (see Add Non-Sale Items).

All items or modifiers to be tracked in Inventory have the Include In Inventory check box selected on their General tab, and an Initial Stocking Unit has been set. This would normally include all stock items like ham or cheese, but not finished product that you make at your store, like pizzas (see Select Items to Track).

There are no duplicate items in the menu (see To Find and Merge Duplicates).

All sold menu items have item contents (ingredients) listed, with the amount used (see Add Recipes).

Menu items that include packaging with some order types and not with others have multiple item contents nodes. The contents for delivery and take-out should include packaging (see Add Packaging).

All toppings or other modifiers that can be added to menu items, but are not included in the item contents, have topping matrixes (see Add Topping Matrixes).

It has been checked for errors (see Run a Menu Check).

Next Steps

During the first few weeks of Inventory use, it is normal to test and troubleshoot issues. See the Inventory Testing and Troubleshooting topic in Store Manager Help for tips and information.
