POS Items Links + Recipes

So you have been busy setting up your item and supplier lists, have started ordering and recieving through Loaded and are ready for the next step?

Have a look at the next tutorial below, to learn how to set up your POS items links, and create recipes. This will enable you to see the cost of all your POS items (updated from latest stock costing automatically if you are using the ordering feature) and the resulting cost of goods (COGS).







After you have completed the set up your stock items will start decrementing from inventory in your stock takes (which will be the next video).

How to set up Stock

We're starting to get a lot of interest in our Stock Module which is in final testing. For those of you who want to give setting it up a crack, here's a video on getting the basics ready to go.

There is no risk in setting up before final release as only minor changes to the system will occur, not your data.

We're absolutely stoked with how the Stock Module is operating in our test sites, have a look and check it out for yourself.








The next video will be up soon!

New Stock Module

Loaded Reports is very happy to announce that very soon you will be able to manage all of your stock through Loaded. The ordering system is now entering the test stage and we will be adding further stock management features in the coming weeks.

We've tried to make it as simple as possible to create purchase orders, and to send these to your suppliers. We think it's pretty cool, with features like being able to Fax and Email orders straight from Loaded without even having to print them.

But it's worth pointing out that this still a test version, there's heaps of features that we will be adding to the Stock system that aren't ready yet, like automatically generating orders based on your stock levels, and tweaking recipes based on the quantities you're actually using.

Keep an eye on our progress, and pretty soon you'll be getting even more value out of Loaded.

Loaded Roster is out of beta

Thanks to all of you who tried out the new Loaded Roster module. We've been busy testing it and making it better over the past few weeks, and now we think it's ready to remove the "Beta" label.

Like all the reports in Loaded, we'll still be improving things over time, but for the time being, we've locked down all the big bits. This means that won't see any major changes to the user interface, or how things operate in the near future, so you can teach your staff to use the Roster without worrying that it won't look the same in a week's time!

Some of the cool changes we've made since we first released the Roster:

• You can make your roster viewable by anyone. This means that you can email your staff a special link, and they can view your roster to see when they are scheduled to work. (Check out http://www.loadedreports.com/Staffroster/Settings to do this)
• You can copy a Roster from a previous week. If most of your staff work the same shifts each week, then you can save a lot of time by just copying last week's roster. Click on the "Copy Roster" button in the Roster module to do this.
• You can Filter the roster view to only show some of your Departments, this makes it easier to see which staff have shifts assigned, and how many people in each department are rostered during your busy times. Also, if you print a roster when you have a filter applied, then only those Departments will be printed!

There are heaps more features of the roster module, keep an eye on our blog over the next few weeks for more hints and tips to help you get the most out of your Staff Roster.
