Lock Nutrition

Eatec has been enhanced to support the Lock Nutrition feature for recipes. This feature restricts users to indirectly modify or add any nutrition related information by locking the nutrition changes that are cascaded from child linkages.

When Nutrition Lock is enabled, the current nutrition data that is saved cannot be modified based on the changes made to its child link items. Users can override the system calculated data and save the changes. The last updated data is used in the nutrition cascading process for inventory, recipe, product, and FG item.

When Nutrition Lock is disabled, users can modify the nutrition information but when saved, the information will not be saved, and the system recalculates the nutrition for the existing data.

Users can view the Lock Nutrition status of a recipe as Locked or Unlocked by navigating to Masters à Inventory List à F&B à Nutrition.

For example, if a user updates the value as 150 in the Grams per serving field (under the Nutrition Calculation section) replacing the original value of 450 and saves the nutrition data without using the Lock Nutrition feature, the system will not consider the new value.

Navigate to Masters à Recipes.

Select a recipe.

Click Edit.

Select the Nutrition tab.

• USDA Nutrition Link

• Nutrition Calculator

• Label Information
