Rancelab Release 2.413

Integration with third party App for ordering system

Scenario : If you have a third party app for order taking and you want that order to be inserted inRanceLab.

 

Solution : We have introduced Fusion API system i.e Integration with third party Application. Order placed in app, can be inserted in RanceLab using API.

API. The app needs to be configured to provide the the data for each line of item toRanceLab, such as Table Number, Item Name, Rate, Qty  etc .

Process for conversion of one unit of product to other product

Scenario : In restaurant purchase of most of the products are made in packs but consumed in loose. It is difficult to maintain the proper stock in packs and loose.

For example, the following products are purchase at store in bottles

GREEN APPLE CRUSH (1000 ml)

GREEN APPLE CRUSH (750 ml)

Then it is transferred to kitchen in bottles. Physical stock taken at store in bottles, but But recipe define in ml and in kitchen consumed in Ml.

 

Solution : We have added 2 fields in Product Master (M > I > P) Other Information.

Convert Product - Here we will attach the loose product which will be converted from Raw Product

Conversion Qty - Here we will enter how much Qty to be converted from the Raw Product.

 

For Example : GREEN APPLE CRUSH (1000 ml),GREEN APPLE CRUSH (750 ml) - in bottle will be consumed and GREEN APPLE CRUSH loose will be produced.

 

Now if you run Auto Stock Journal main product which is mapped will be consumed by stock qty and linked product will be produced with qty as per conversion qty defined in product master.

Guide for FAQ: How to maintain the inventory of liquor bottles in a bar?

Option 1: You might have two warehouses.

1.Warehouse One = Store. It is the warehouse where you purchase bottles and then transfer it to Bar. You need a stock report in bottles with following columns

a.Opening Stock: This column will show the opening stock for a date.

b.Inward: This column will show all the purchases.

c.Outward: This column will show the bottles issued to bar using the stock transfer entry.

d.Closing Stock: It will show (Opening + Inward - Outward = Closing).

2.Warehouse Two = Bar. This warehouse is for the bar where the liquor is sold in ML (30 ml or 60 ml pegs). You need a stock report in ML with following columns

a.Opening Stock: This column will show the opening stock for a date.

b.Inward : This column will show stock received from store in bottles. It will also show these bottles converted in ML.

c.Outward: This column will show the consumed liquor in ML against the pegs (30 / 60 ml) solds. It will also show the bottles consumed.

d.Closing Stock: It will show (Opening + Inward - Outward = Closing).

Implementation Notes

1.Create 4 items for 1 single brand. Here is the example

a.Black Label Bottle 750 ML: This item will be used in purchase at  and then issue to bar. You need to also define

i.Convert Product = Black Label ML

ii.Conversion Qty = 750

b.Black Label ML: This item will be used to convert the bottle into ML. This is also used in the receipe of the following items.

i.Menu Item: Black Label peg 60 ML (define the recipe where consumption product = Black Label Bottle ML and qty = 60)

ii.Menu Item: Black Label peg 30 ML (define the recipe where consumption product = Black Label Bottle ML and qty = 30)

2.At the day end run the “Auto Stock Journal”. This will automatically

a.Consume = Black Label Bottle 750 ML

b.Produce = Black Label ML

c.Produce = Black Label 60 Peg ML and Black Label Peg 30 ML

d.Consume = Black Label ML

Option 2:  If the warehouse store and bar belongs to same location, you can opt for following process.Instead of stock transfer to warehouse, just make a stock journal entry where

Production = Black Label  ML: and  Warehouse = Bar
Consumption = Black Label Bottle 750 ML and Warehouse = Store

 

A new report has been added to generate CRM point statement

Scenario : At present in customer statement, we are not getting the opening, earned and redeem point calculation based on date period.

 

Solution : A new report CRM Point Summary is being introduced in Customer List report with following fields:

Set this field to Yes

Now whenever you will try to create a new customer it will send an OTP via sms to the Mobile Number entered in customer master. In order to save the customer data you need to enter that OTP.

Scenario : When we will create customer at branch then card location should be the branch location by default.

Solution: Now if we create customer at branch, it would take branch location as default.

Included the Stock Statement in Email Scheduler

Scenario: The current "stock report" available in the email scheduler is based on pre-calculated stock.This report differs from the standard stock statement because of the date range. It's causing confusion when comparing these two reports.

Set Prompt to Select Customer on Start = Without Keyboard.
