New Feature: Map to GL at Director
We now can Map Electronic Invoices to GL both at the store and at Director. Best for customers that use the same Chart of Accounts in each of their stores, when mapping an unmapped line, the system will look at the GLs for the store that owns the invoice and will save this mapping for future instances of that line item.
Please note: To have this functionality activated for your account (at no additional cost) please contact Craftable Support.
New Feature: Taxes on Orders
Users can add projected Taxes to an order so that it will impact their budget (or require it to go for approval) with the expected tax burden. This feature can be configured in one of two ways:
- From Store Settings>Store Info, toggle on “Use Tax Mappings on Orders” to apply existing Tax Mappings from Books to Orders
- or on your Chart of Accounts in Books you can apply a blanket Tax % per GL Account - just click into the Tax % column to update
Either method will result in a Projected Total amount to more accurately impact your Budget!
New Feature: Modifier Groups
Craftable now supports mapping groups of POS Modifiers (along with an optional base POS Item) to a single Craftable Modifier in order to build powerful depletion logic. Pizza shops, custom soda shops, coffee shops, and any other business that requires modifiers to behave differently depending on what other modifiers it is bundled with will benefit the most from this new feature.

Freehand Ordering
For those times when you need to order an Item that you haven’t already added to Craftable, there’s Freehand Ordering. Quickly populate order lines, complete with (optional) SKUs and GL Coding, and send it off to your Vendor without creating unwanted Items.
Cross Platform Budgets
If your Craftable subscription includes more than one platform, consider using Cross Platform Budgets. This optional feature must be enabled by the Craftable Team before you can use it and requires that any current and historical platform-specific Budget Data be removed.
Once enabled, you’ll no longer see Budgets in the Trackers section on Bevager, Foodager, or House - instead, Budgets will be managed in Books. The functionality and setup are the same, however, you’ll create a single Budget per Store instead of separate Budgets per platform. This combined Budget will then be impacted by Orders placed on any part of the platform.
Some class-y updates!
For customers who use Classes with Books, we’ve added Classes to Budgets, Orders, Order Approvals & the GL Summary Report, just to name a few…
Updated Accounting Tab
The Accounting tab of the Item Panel has gotten a facelift! We’ve simplified the layout so that overriding the Item’s GL Mapping is more intuitive.
Scheduled Reports
Need to see the same report with different configurations? You can schedule that!
As long as the selected parameters are not identical, you can now have multiple scheduled instances of any of our Scheduled Reports.

AVT COGS by Ops Group available at Director
A fan-favorite report - The Actual vs Theoretical COGS by Ops Group - has been added to the reports that can be run at the Director! You can select which Ops Groups you want to be included in the report and then select whether to Group the data By Store or By Ops Group. A Summary table will always populate at the top with the summary data for all selected stores and ops groups, and below you'll see the main table.
If you select to group the data By Store then the Store Name will be column 1, followed by a rollup of the Ops Groups as column 2, which can be expanded out. If you select to group the data By Ops Group then column 1 will be the Ops Group and column 2 will be the Stores. This is a fantastic way to see a rollup in one place of how your business is doing across all locations, comparing what numbers the locations are actually hitting, versus the theoretical numbers.
For more information on the Actual vs Theoretical COGS by Ops Group report, please check out the Knowledge Base article on it.
"Done All" Vendor Item Mappings
You can now click "Done All" from the Vendor Item Mappings page to mass "Done" all invoices that are fully Mapped. This enhancement makes mapping lines from the Vendor Items Mappings page a simple and quick way to get through your invoice mapping process.
POS Item & Modifier Mapping Enhancements
Last Sold data added to the Modifier Mapping page, and you can also filter by Date Sold, making it easier than ever to delete old buttons from a prior POS system or seasonal menu buttons that you no longer need.
For users with Director POS Mapping you can can also click on the Last Sold date to see the Last Sold date within each of your stores!
