STG Aloha Tip Of The Month

STG Aloha Tip: Item Availability Use

Item Management

Would you like that availability to carry over to the next Business Day?

By creating a Category for any items you wish to carry over (or using an existing category), you can set the items in the category (including the All Items category, if you wish) to carry over their Item Availability to the following business day.

In Aloha Manager, open Maintenance > Menu > Categories. From here, we can identify a category we wish to carry over (perhaps we want to use our Food category), or perhaps create a new category, just for this Carry-Over purpose. In said case, press Cancel toward the bottom (if it is not grayed out) and the letters next to 'Category' should be highlighted (usually blue). Then type in an unused number to create a new category, ensure that the button next to ‘Non-sales' is checked, and select any items from the right that you wish to include and press 'Include'. Then press 'Save'. You have now made your category of carry over items.

Go ahead and open up Aloha Manager, and navigate to Maintenance > Store Settings. Select ‘System' from the list, then you should open the 'End of Day' tab. There is a drop-down menu next to the words ‘Carryover Items''. Select the category whose items you wish to carry over. Press Save.

You can either refresh your data (Utilities > Refresh Data), or wait until the next day (when your system completes its End of Day) for the changes to take effect!
