Pack List Tab Headers

There are several headers across the top of the Pack List:

Total

The aggregate total being packed (from all sources) for the Item.

Example: Below we have the Chafer, Disposable packed for the Chicken Piccata with a Qty of 1 and we have one that was manually packed (This Event Only) with a Qty of 1. The Total column adds both to show that you need 2 total for the event.


Item

The name of the Inventory item that is on the Pack List.


Association

The reason the item is on the Pack List.

    • There are three main labels that will be shown here:
      • Always Pack: These are items that you have set up using the Always Pack functionality.
      • This Event Only: These are one-off items that have been manually added to the pack list for this event only.
      • *Item Specific Name*: These are items that were automatically packed due to a specific Menu, Beverage, Equipment, or Misc item being added as a line item on the event.

Click Show All to reveal the hidden Associations.


Qty

The quantity of the item on the Pack List for the specific row as related to the Association.

Click the blue arrow up button to round up any partial quantities.

Other Areas

Blank Column

Between the Association and Qty columns is a blank column. This is where you will see an exclamation point next to any items that have been manually changed/added from the default automations.

This would include any items you manually add to the pack list and/or any item quantities that you manually update.


Sub-Total Cost

The Sub-Total Cost will show the combined cost of all items on the pack list with the Costed? check-box checked.
