Required CPU Product Fields
Product name: The name of this product
Linked recipe: The recipe for this individual product within Edify (note, recipe must have 'Count in stock take' ticked to linked)
Supplier product code: A unique identifier used internally
Pack Type: How is this product sold for example a loaf of bread would be 'each' while a pack of pies would be 'pack'
Pack Quantity: To ensure pricing calculates correctly this should always be 1
Sale price ex VAT: The default price
Lead time, days: This should always be set to 0
Linking Recipes and Supplier Products
CPU Products should be linked to either a recipe (if the product is made on site) or a supplier product (if the product is bought in and sold on).
To do this head to the Products settings page and search for the recipe or supplier product in the dropdowns.
Recipe Yields
When linking a recipe to a CPU product, the recipe’s yield must match the Single Unit Type of that product.
Think of it this way:
If your CPU sells banana bread by the slice, the linked recipe should produce one slice of banana bread.
Pack Quantity: 1
Single Unit Type: each
If your CPU sells a box of six cookies, the linked recipe should still be for one cookie, because the Single Unit Type is each.
Pack Quantity: 6
Single Unit Type: each
In this scenario the system will multiply the recipe yield by the Pack Quantity
CPU Product Management FAQs
Can I add products in bulk?
Currently we do not have a bulk creation option for CPU products, but if you reach out to our customer support team they'll be able to assist.
Are new products automatically assigned to all customers?
Yes, when you add a new CPU product it is automatically assigned as default to all your active customers, so it's important to adjust the customer allocation after creating a CPU product if this product is only available to a selection of your customers.
Why do I have to set pack quantity to one?
This is to ensure the customer is charged correctly. We recommend adding the quantity into the name of the product where this is applicable. For example, if you sell a box of six cupcakes the setup would be as follows:
Product name: Cupcakes x6
Pack Type: Box
Pack Quantity: 1
What is a default price for a CPU product?
This is the price that a customer will pay for a CPU product unless custom pricing is setup at a customer level. You can adjust the default price of a CPU product at anytime by editing a product.
How do I edit a product?
Navigate to "CPU" > "Product List" > Search the product you wish to edit > Click "Edit" on the right hand side. Be sure to save any changes.
Why can't I find my recipe to link to?
If a recipe does not have 'count in stock take' ticked on the recipe settings it will not be available to link to a product.
