Enabling Batch Mixes & Prep Items to be purchased would improve accountability for Variety Packs and eliminate the need inventory workarounds or variety consolidation. It would also enhance any ability to transfer batched goods between locations in the event intra-client transfers are enabled.

We should have the option to change product views from ML to TOT or Bottle per category instead of having to do each line item seperately.

When a product is purchased by a new vendor in the system the vendor listed on Ipar report should update or change to reflect the new supply arrangement. In our market the supply side is dynamic and vendors carry the same lines and trading relationships with venues change frequently. I don't really want the Ipar report suggesting an order for a product from the incorrect or old/ previous vendor.

Currently (as you all know) there are two ways to Blacklist an item when importing sales. Individually selecting Items when in Step 4 -Preview Sales Data" before importing sales data. (These selections are shown in the Sales Import Log File so you can see what was blacklisted)Individually selecting items to blacklist AFTER importing sales and within the sales screen (As far as I know, there IS NO log file or way to see items that were blacklisted using this option) *Many POS sales files will have multiple (Sometimes 10+ line items for the same matching sales item when using Option 1 above). I know when you select one of them, it automatically selects all of the others with the same PLU/Item Name, but due to the length of this list it is often times much faster IMO to go ahead and import and then blacklist items after the import has been done using the second option above. Issue: Blacklisting a sales Item that should not have been blacklisted is one of the hardest things to identify in future periods due to the length of some of these sales files we are importing. If not caught and fixed, it obviously directly creates inaccurate reports. My issue, is that there is NO WAY to review (as far as I know) all items that have been blacklisted in an audit, you ONLY have access to review the ones that were blacklisted using option 1 above. Recommended Improvement: Add an option to "Review all Items Blacklisted this period" (Which could include all items blacklisted using both option 1 and option 2 above in one list) or adding a log file to "Review all Items Blacklisted AFTER importing sales" so at least we have the ability to see ALL Items that were blacklisted during any given audit period. This is EXTREMLY IMPORTANT when reviewing audits, especially for oversight for newer staff members.

it would be great to have a report that references the recommended order from previous audit , compares it to what was actually ordered in the current period , and also references current on hand to help identify a number of things : iPar settings that need priority to being adjusted This report would help clients trust and use the iPar more closely resulting in more brand stickiness and better retention. Help client cash flow Lower inventory levels which makes for less time spent counting . For example, if they had 5 btls last week and last weeks iPar recommended ordering 12 and they ordered 24, but for current on hand they have 26 bottles , they obviously didn’t need the 24 . It should flag those items and show to client how much benefit following the recommended orders has. It would also likely result in them trusting that report more, and allow us to more quickly adjust settings to keep things lean but stocked **I know there is the report on the Online Dashboard, but this report DOES NOT compare it to current on hand or help identify the over orders or settings that need to be adjusted, it only compares current purchases to last wees recommended orders.

Currently if a brand is in either the Kegs or Wine Class and flowmeters are enabled, those brands always default to being ON when importing flowdata. This means if a single Wine is on tap, all other Wines must be turned OFF each week after importing. Forgetting to do so results in errant data. Being required to do so is inefficient and serves no purpose. The previously assigned state should be retained and can default to ON if and when flowdata is identified on a per-brand basis.

When weighing, we should add the ability to swipe up to change to the counting screen and add a bottle.

When entering an invoice on the system, could we perhaps have a feature where we select if tax is included / excluded and the % thereof. I am suggesting this as some supplier invoices are including tax while others are excluding. If the invoice is including we have to go item by item and calculate the excluding tax value which takes up quite a bit of time. If we could select if tax is included or excluded it would streamline the entering of invoices and leave less room for errors on the cost prices.

recently had customer ask how many margaritas they sold for last 6 months. I was only able to calculate that by running spanned detailed variance ….search for one of the ingredients and click sold to see all the drinks sold during that time. Still had to add each weeks margs sold to get total. The current spanned report is ideal for individual item usage but not a specific drink with multiple ingredients. Thanks

It would be helpful if you were able to create a batch mix recipe within the app. With clients doing more and more of batches, cheater bottles , etc it’s very cumbersome to have take and send pics during a count , that then need to be created in 2020 and then the actual counts and weights be manually added from the pictures after the count and before you can proof . I feel like the app should have the ability to create a batch mix item . It already has the previously carried items , so you could just tell it how many ounces of the brands , empty container weight, size , etc (just like in 2020) and then you could actually count the new batches as you come across them .

Currently flowdata is only available for Kegs (and Wine upon request). This should be extended to all Classes as well as Batch Mixes Clients use flowmeters to track other beverage which are of importance to our clients. Without that data, we are forced to either not include those values in our report or manually enter all values.

The current method for collecting data from our flowdata providers results in three glaring issues that inhibit client success. Unaligned Partnerships: when a client presents the question "Why are the reported inventories different?" somebody loses. This damages the appearance of an effective partnership and ultimately leads to questioning the data efficacy.Negative On-Hand Inventory: this is a critical accounting problem that presents a core challenge - how to handle scenarios where negative on-hand occursIneffective intelliPar: when intellipar reporting relies on the current amount of product on hand, incorrectly representing what's available carries over to orderingShort EOM Values: much like the intelliPar report, providing a client with incorrect EOM values degrades our appearance as an accurate data provider

When a Batch Mix/Prep Item is used to account for Variety Packs, special scenarios (coolers that should be counted as Liquors), etc., the app depicts it as a single item. His difference between Case nomenclature and Item nomenclature result in confusion for users that are accustomed to seeing data displayed in a specific manner.

Originally there were issues with users experiencing double scans. To resolve this issue a delay of 1 second was implemented, but this is far too much. Now scans are not being registered appropriately. Proposed Solutions Reduce delay to 250 msec and acquire feedback from testingimplement a delay override recognizing when a scan trigger is physically depressed more than 500 msec
