The Prep Items Report allows you to generate a list of all prep items that meet the specified criteria. You can sort the report alphabetically by description or by prep item number.
Use the Rebuild Costs button at the top of the screen to ensure that your Prep Item listing shows the latest cost data. The cost of each prep item is stored with the prep item itself in order to speed up certain reports. Ordinarily, the cost is updated once a day and any time a prep item is updated on the Prep Items screen. If the cost of an ingredient changes significantly during the day and you don't want to wait until tomorrow for it to get updated, just click this button.
The report has drill-down capabilities for Item Description, and Item # when the report is generated without "Instructions" checked.
