1. Set Up a Bill of Materials (BoM) for Menu Items

1. Go to Manufacturing > Products.
2. Create a product for each menu item, e.g., "Baked Tuscan Chicken," if it doesn’t already exist.
3. Under Inventory settings for each product, enable "Can be Sold" and "Can be Manufactured."
4. Go to Bill of Materials and create a BoM for "Baked Tuscan Chicken."
   • Add each ingredient (e.g., chicken breast) with its required quantity.

2. Enable Inventory Tracking for Ingredients

1. Ensure each ingredient is set as a Storable Product in the product settings so that inventory can be tracked.
2. Go to Inventory and update quantities as necessary for each ingredient.

3. Configure Point of Sale to Deduct Inventory

1. Go to Point of Sale > Configuration > Settings.
2. Enable Inventory Management and Stock in POS if these options are available.
   • This will ensure that POS operations can directly reduce inventory.
3. For the restaurant POS session, ensure that Order Confirmation or Payment Validation is selected as the trigger for stock moves.

4. Automate Stock Reduction on Order

1. Use the Automated Action or Scheduled Action to check and trigger manufacturing orders when the BoM product is ordered from the POS.
   • This can be set up in Settings > Technical > Automation.
2. Set up a scheduled action that triggers a manufacturing order and confirms it immediately to deduct stock once the menu item is ordered.
