Menu Item Masters
A menu item master defines the “thing” which is being sold. The menu item master is unique across the enterprise, and often is mapped to an inventory system (for example, medium soda vs. large soda). The menu item master object number is also unique across the enterprise.
In Simphony, you can define menu item masters at the Enterprise, zone, or location hierarchy levels.
