Menu Item Configuration - Menu Item Class Grid
To define menu item classes that group menu items together, access Configuration>Catering>Menu Item Maintenance. The Menu Item Configuration screen displays with the Menu Item Class grid on the left-side. When Menu Item Classes are created, the appropriate menu items can be linked to them. To view the existing menu items linked to the menu item class, highlight the menu item class name in the left grid. The menu items that exist for the menu item class display in the Menu Item Name grid on the right-side.
The Menu Item Class Grid contains the Menu Item Class Name, Sequence number, whether the class is Food or Beverage (F/B), and if the class is Web Bookable (X in the W column). The W column is only available when the license code Webservices Sales & Catering WCS_<version number> or the Webservices Conference Center WCC_<version number> is active. The W column is also available if the WCS/WSS license codes are not active, but the application parameter Blocks>Function Space Config is active. The class is identified as being Web Bookable during the creation or editing of the menu item class (see below).

Display Sequence. A numeric field which allows you to order the Menu Item Classes, if required. If you do not sequence these classes they will appear in alphabetical order. When using sequences, try to use series like 10, 20, 30, etc., so you can insert new Menu Item Classes without having to redefine the entire sequence.
