Food Service : How to use item duplication with Food Service module

While the ability to duplicate items when creating DCIs in SysManager is covered in basic Salesware Documentation, the functionality is certainly worth re-iterating in the Food Service arena. Item duplication is critical in saving configuration time in a Food Service environment, where menus are extensive and item configuration can be complex. As a quick refresher:

1. In SysManager, in the DCI, select an existing item.

2. Click the DUPL button in the DCI.

3. A duplicated item is created within that same department and category; simply create a new nickname and description for the item and modify other settings (price, etc.) if needed.

Note: From this point, you can also create new or duplicated items on the Item Configuration dialog (no need to return to the main DCI, simply use the NEW or DUPL selection found on the far right-hand side of the item creation screen). You are prompted to save your existing item before creating a new or duplicated one. Take care that the new items you create are included in the proper department and category.

Exercise:

1. Create a new item in the DCI.

2. Without returning to the DCI, duplicate that item into the same department and category as the original item.
