The Purchases screen shows your automated purchases budget and tracks your spending throughout the week so you can ensure you're staying on track.
Declining budgets protect your cash flow, mitigate food waste, and ensure sufficient inventory on hand.
Why does the 5-Out budget adjust throughout the week?
As your actual revenue comes in and your forecast adjusts, your budget does too. This means that:
When sales are lower, the budget shrinks proportionately
When sales are higher, the budget grows
