A Sales Budget modal will open where you can manage four blocks:

  • Select the Sale Types included in that budget. Use the Individual or Group switch to set whether it will be a single group of sale types or several.
  • Select the Sale Periods established for the budget.

Notes: Fields marked with * are mandatory.

Reference Data

In this block, you will set whether the budget will use reference data from another center, date, or source.

  • In Reference Center, select whether you want to use the same center in a previous year or another specific center.
  • Select whether you want to use Historical Data or another Budget as Reference Source.
  • In Reference Date, you can set the specific time range you will use as reference for your budget. It can be the same day of the week in a previous week, same date in a previous year, or a comparable day in a previous year.
  • Depending on the parameter you use in Reference Date, you can select the Previous Year or Previous Week you will use as reference.
  • Select whether you will Use budgeted data as reference for future dates. If you do, then set the Budget for Future Dates.

  • Choose whether you want to Show all Sale Types or not.
  • You can Load a base distribution by choosing a specific date from the reference data.
  • Set the distributions in percentage. In the table, rows correspond to sale types and columns to periods.
  • Keep in mind that the sum of all distributions must equal 100%. You can view this in the Total row.

Once you complete each of the blocks, select Accept to save changes OR Cancel to discard them.

Reject or accept a quote submitted on a work order

Start from: The Easilys menu.

Important to know: If an orange warning triangle is visible on the quote line, it means that the quote amount is higher than the threshold defined on the equipment record. When you hover over the triangle, a message will display the percentage set for this threshold.

Note that you may not be able to "Accept" or "Reject" a quote if you do not have validation rights or if the amount of the quote exceeds the set limit.

If you reject a quote, you can add a comment to explain the reasons for the rejection. Your maintainer can then propose another quote.

The work order will change to status "Awaiting intervention" as soon as a quote is accepted.

Managing additional and/or exceptional costs

Start from: The Easilys menu.

There are two methods for managing additional and/or exceptional production costs.

This is specifically about excluding certain costs from the calculation of the food cost price.

The first method involves using manual stock withdrawals of the additional or exceptional type.
The second involves indicating additional or exceptional service headcounts by specifying the food cost price (PR) associated with the service.

The simplest way is to choose one method to manage all additional costs. The most accurate is the first, that is, management via stock withdrawal movements.

If you choose to use this method, which we recommend if you do not use the stock withdrawal assistance via the "Stock withdrawal" screen*, you will not need to indicate a food cost price in your additional or exceptional services. You can even avoid distinguishing between main and additional or exceptional services.

*This screen provides the list of all withdrawals to be made for the day, which Easilys calculates by consulting the menus. With one click, all your withdrawals are completed.

 1. MANAGEMENT VIA STOCK WITHDRAWALS

The "Stock withdrawal" window appears.

This is the most accurate method to exclude these consumptions from the food cost price.

You can use (from the "Stock movements" view) the "List of additional withdrawals" or "List of exceptional withdrawals" reports to review and verify your withdrawals.

These withdrawals will appear in the calculation of the food cost price visible on the "Food cost price" screen. The costs are excluded, which then gives the net consumption. These costs are therefore excluded from the food cost price.

OR

2. MANAGEMENT VIA SERVICE HEADCOUNTS

Once the day is validated, Easilys can calculate the food cost price by excluding the costs related to the additional service.

Below, Easilys performs this calculation:
2.20 (food cost price) x 25 (headcount for the day) = 55.00 euros (material cost of additional services)

It is entirely possible to use both methods for different cases. However, be careful not to use both methods simultaneously for the same cost as this would double the total costs excluded from the food cost price calculation.

You can therefore make additional stock withdrawals to manage, for example, events such as a farewell party. And also manage costs related to meals offered to exceptional visitors via service headcounts.

The only thing to avoid is making both additional withdrawals and indicating a food cost price on an additional service for the farewell party, as the production costs for this farewell party would be excluded twice in the food cost price calculation.
