Managing items at the company or store level
By default, when creating an item at the company level, the system assigns the item to all stores. To assign an item to a specific store, identify the stores at which the item is available. You can also edit an item to modify the stores for which it is available.
- On the item screen, the system identifies the stores to which you assigned the item. If the item is available to all stores, All Stores appears next to Assign Stores.
Creating an Item at the Store Level
At the store level, you can create an item for use in your store; however, you cannot assign the item to other stores or assign modifier groups to the item.
- To assign modifier groups to the item, switch to the company level, select the item, and add the modifier groups to it.
- To assign the item to other stores, switch to the company level, and assign the item to the stores where you want to make it available.
Filtering the Item Availability View
At the store level, you can filter which items to view on the Categories & Items screen. You can elect to view All Items, which may include items not available at your store, or Items Assigned to My Store, which is the store-level view default.
- To filter the items view, select Categories & Items subtab. Then, from the Filter by dropdown list, select All Items or Items Assigned to My Store.
