Can I create a Category name as (Bucket Beer) and price the category at $50.
Inside of it will have 10 different type of beers.
So I can choose any 5 of bottles beer for $40.
Instead of have a category name as Bucket Beer, I can create a product name (Bucket Beer $40) and using modifier to select the up to 5 bottles of beer. (maybe 4 x beer a + 1 x beer b)
both solutions have 1 issue, is that we need to deduct the stocks from inventory.
Or is there any better solution ?
Basically I am setting up a pub POS. We sell individual bottle beers at say $10-12 each and 5 bottles at $40 and/or $50 (2 bucket bundle choices)
And we need to deduct the bottles of beer accordingly.
I dont think Categories can have prices, and I dont see why that would be interesting… instead try products and Order tags for products…
start here: Using Order Tags as Product Modifiers
that is the correct way,and since you are in V5, there will be soon an update where you can use order tags in a receipe and discount from stock inventory.
Do not use Portions for this scenario. They will not help you.
Create a Product for each Beer:
Product Name: Heineken
Portion: Normal Price: 7.00
Product Name: Tiger
Portion: Normal Price: 7.00
Create a Product for Bucket:
Product Name: $38 Bucket
Portion: Normal Price: 38.00
Create Order Tag Group called Bucket Beers
In the Order Tags list for Bucket Beers, add 2 Tags:
Heineken
Tiger
Map the Order Tags to their applicable Beer Product.
In Mappings, map the Order Tag Group to the $38 Bucket Product.
Follow my previous instructions for setting Max Selected Items (5) and Quantity (5).
In Products > Menu List > [Menu]
Select the Category that contains the $38 Bucket, and click the bottom link for Edit Product Properties.
Check the box next to $38 Bucket labelled Auto-select.
You have a mistake with your inventory item. You have not defined a Transaction Unit and for Tiger you have a mistake with an extra unit it has no unit name.
In V5, there is another way to set this up, which for this scenario, I prefer. This alternate setup shows Cost and Profit Rate in a different way, which I feel makes more sense for this type of Product…
