Corporate Accounts: Managing Vendor Product Selections per "DC Review Units"

As a corporate account, you can manage the vendor product selections for each vendor distribution center (DC). 

Managing the vendor product selections for a DC is done via a "DC Review Unit", which is a faux account set up in MealSuite that represents the DC and has an imported vendor product list from that DC.

As a corporate account, you open the Vendor Production Selection screen, select the DC review units, and review the vendor products selected from each DC for each ingredient on your corporate menu (click here for instructions to do so). You can then make product selection changes as needed via the DC-specific approved purchasing list (APL) that is published to the DC review unit. See the following instructions as needed to make product selection changes via the APL.

You can also watch the demos below to see how to open DC review units, understand product selections for food items, and make changes via the APL. 

Note: If you do not have a review unit set up for a DC, please contact MealSuite Support. 

When the corporate account has reviewed and confirmed the item-product selections, then the DC-specific APL can be published to the facility child accounts that orders from the DC. To do so, see Parent Account: Publishing APL to a Child Account.   

Generate Cost Report for Corporate Menu Specific to Each DC

For your corporate menu, you can generate a cost report for each DC review unit and make further adjustments to the vendor product selections if necessary. There are two menu cost reports available; click on the appropriate link for more information and specific instructions on generating the report for a DC review unit:
