The Wastage functionality will enable you to break your weekly stock variance figure into an explained variance and an unknown variance. The explained variance will be your waste amount which will include all ‘Finished Waste’ which has been entered on the till, and all ‘Raw Waste’ and ‘Finished Waste’ which have been entered on Enterprise.
The ‘Finished Waste’ means a complete item what you will sell to a customer (e.g.: bottle of wine, any retail items, any dishes sold on the menu).
The ‘Raw Waste’ means an ingredient or a stock item (this includes any batches that you will use in the kitchen or in the bar).
Entering Wastage on Enterprise
The Wastage can be entered only for the same day on the till; however, you can enter the wastage for any of the days within your stock period on Enterprise.
Wastage can be entered as many times as you want throughout the day
