Dish/Recipes can be located quickly using the eProcurement search feature. There are three ways to fine a dish/recipe:

Category path
Important Note: A dish/recipe must be categorized to be included in the search results.
In the Search All Menus section, select the Search Column from the drop-down list. Enter the Search Value text corresponding to the selection and click GO to perform the search. The search results will be listed below. Note: Each search is a “like” comparison so a partial entry is accepted.
Categories: Searches categories by name in order to locate items. Quickly brings you to the category level you want to click on to view products without walking down all the levels.
Dish/Recipe ID: Searches the Dish/Recipe ID as assigned by the system.
Recipe/Dish name: Searches based on the name given by the user. This can be edited in Header Update.
Recipe classification: Searches based on the classification given by the user. This can be edited in Header Update.
Recipe author: Searches based on the name of the person who originally created the dish/recipe. Any part of the name can be entered.
# or servings: Searches based on the number of servings. This can be edited in Header Update.
Recipe price: Searches based on the monetary value as assigned by the user (not the calculated price amount). This can be edited in Header Update.
You can refine your search using more than one criterion using the Advanced Search. In the parameter window, select where you want to search:
Outlet or General Library
Active, Inactive or Both statuses

With the search results you have the same options that are found on the Recipe Menus tab: Load Dish, Create Recipe, Add Dish to Menu, Add Recipe to Dish or Close the window.
When a dish/recipe is created as a What If scenario, it can be included in the Dish/Recipe List. You can only use Load Dish to load your own What If record, and not another’s record. When you load your record, it will load on the What If tab (not the Dish/Recipe tab).
Add Dish to Menu and Add Recipe to Dish are not available for What If records.
For reporting purposes, you have the ability to record how many dish/recipes you have sold on a given day.
