Menu Item Availability
Menu Items can be disabled by the franchisor. Disabled menu items cannot be sold. This provides a quick way to prevent an item from being sold, and then to make it available again.
An effectivity group can be assigned to a Menu Item (MI) Master record from the module’s MI Master - Effectivity tab. This allows the franchisee to control when the menu item is available. The effectivity group drop-down list includes a 1- Disable setting. When the effectivity group is set to be disabled, the menu item is not available to be sold.
