You can use the Audit function within Bevager, Foodager, or House to maintain your inventory levels for the items that you currently have in Bill & Hold in addition to your on-site inventory. This tells the system the quantity of B&H products you have per vendor, separate from your on-site inventory, which is counted separately during Audits.
Warning - Before Starting
1. You should set all items that you have in your Bill & Hold as available for Bill & Hold beforestarting your Audit. This will affect which items you can count as Bill & Hold in the Audit.
See Setting up Bill & Hold for more details on this process.
2. You should Receive any Orders that are a Release from Bill & Hold to update the running count of the items in your Bill & Hold before beginning.
- Click Inventory > Audit from the navigation menu.
- Click Start New Audit.
- When you open an Audit, storage areas will be created for each vendor that you have Bill & Hold items for. The storages will be titled “B&H: Vendor’s Name”. Only items that have the Bill & Hold toggle turned on will display in the storage area. (Please note - if you see that items you have in Bill & Hold are missing you should delete this audit, toggle the Bill & Hold setting against the item, and then start a new audit. This must be set up before starting the audit.)
Bill & Hold storage counts carry over from one period to the next. The current count for each item will be pre-filled with the count the system has for the item based on all invoices that have been processed, but you can override this by entering a new value for it in the audit. This will update the amount that you have “Available on Hold” for the item.
Partial Audits
As in any Partial Audit, any item you choose to count must be counted in all Storages, including B&H.
Full Audits
During a Full Audit, the current count for each item will be pre-filled with the count the system has for the item based on all invoices that have been processed, but you can override this by entering a new value for it in the audit. This will update the amount that you have “Available on Hold” for the item.
Do I have to count ALL my Bill & Hold Storage Locations?
No. However, any items that are not counted will carry over whatever theoretical inventory that was entered since the last time the item was counted to current, including any Order to B&H invoices. So if you have old orders that are Release from B&H that you haven't yet received, this can cause your B&H inventory to be incorrect. We recommend receiving any B&H Orders before starting your audit, to ensure everything calculates correctly.
How do I select my Audit Close Date?
This should be the date that the audit was counted and sales have already completed.
For example - many businesses start counting one night and finish the next morning. In this instance you would select the date of the night you started counting as your Close Date, since all of your POS sales for that night are complete, and any inventory changes (such as deliveries) have happened. Even if you have only done a Partial Audit you should still select a date where all sales have already concluded for the day.
