Overview: as a restaurant manager, you may want to manage purchase generics to standardize supplies and simplify ordering processes. This guide takes you through the process.

Start from: the Easilys menu.

Purchase generics can be used to group various products into a specific group that is broader than the simple generic ingredient. 

For example, a purchase generic could be Beef, and would include products with the generic ingredients Burger, Steak, Collar steak, etc.

This then enables you to search for products by purchase generic from the Supplier orders screen, or to manage calls for tender.

Note: purchase generics can only be managed from the root site. If you wish to modify the list of purchase generics and do not have access to the root site, please contact an administrator.

  • Select Products > Price lists from the main menu.
  • Select a price list.
  • Select a product by selecting its name.

The Supplier product details list will appear at the bottom of the screen.

  • Select the cog icon visible next to the Purchase generic heading in the third column.

The Manage the purchase generics window will appear on screen:

  • Select Create a purchase generic to create a new purchase generic.
  • Select the orange pencil icon to modify the name of an existing purchase generic.
  • Select the red cross to delete an existing purchase generic.
