Configuring Menu Item Prices for Multiple Definitions

You can define price records for multiple menu item definitions simultaneously.

  1. Select the Enterprise, property, revenue center, or zone, click Configuration, and then click Menu Item Maintenance.
  2. (Optional) In table view, click the Definition Records tab, and then select the definitions for which to add the new price records.

    This is the most common method of adding prices to definitions.

  3. Click Insert on the toolbar.
  4. From the Select a task to perform drop-down list, select Add Prices to Definitions.
  5. To insert the new price records to the definitions you selected in Step 2, select Selected Records from the Range Type drop-down list.

    This is the default setting if Menu Item Definitions are active in table view and you selected at least one menu item definition before accessing the Add Menu Items dialog. The selected records show beneath the Range Type drop-down list.

  6. To insert the new price records into a range of menu item definitions:
    1. Select Select Range from the Range Type drop-down list.
    2. Select the first and last definition records to receive the new prices from the Begin Range and the End Range fields respectively.
  7. From the Prices to Add list, select the price sequences to add for each menu item definition selected, and then enter the Price.

    Simphony ignores requests to create the same price sequence for a definition multiple times and requests to create prices greater than sequence number 8. For example, if a definition already has six prices and you choose to add three prices, Simphony does not create price 9.

  8. Select the Menu Level in which the new price records become active, and then click OK.

    Prices are active on either the sub level or the main level, as dictated by the Menu Item Definition's class.
