List Management

In List Management, you can create new lists and manage existing lists. You can create lists in other pages, but only in List Management can you create a list without creating an order, transfer, or other record.

You can create eight different types of lists in List Management:
  • Order (availability in Ordering enables for availability in Receiving, as long as there is only one vendor being used)

  • Transfer

  • Inventory

  • Waste

  • Yield

  • Production

  • Master order list

  • Automatic yield

Oracle Hospitality recommends doing everything list related (create, delete, rename, edit, and so on) in List Management. Making changes to a list on other pages creates duplicates.

For example, you open the existing Meat Order List on the Ordering page and add a new item to this list. When saving, you enter a new name for the list because lists cannot share the same name. So you enter Meat Order List 2. Now there is the original Meat Order List and the new Meat Order List 2, both having identical items; however, Meat Order List 2 has one extra Item. Also, there is a suspended order with all of the items from list 2. Forgetting to delete the suspended order causes an outstanding order. If you had added the item to the list through List Management, you could have updated the current list without having to create a whole new list.
