Product Update
Published July 3rd, 2025
Harry Balding, PurchasePlus Platform Expert
Welcome
This month’s updates are all about smarter, faster workflows - from calculating full menu costs to improved inventory, recipes, invoicing, and supplier product out of stock indicators.

Whether you're managing stock, reviewing approvals, or guiding your teams with clearer data, these enhancements help you get more done with less effort - so you can stay focused on great guest experiences.

Read on to learn about the new features that you can use in PurchasePlus.
There is now a Calculate Menu Costs button in the header of a Menu, allowing you to make calculations on the cost of an entire Menu, adjusting the quantity of each Recipe in the Menu. This can be helpful day-to-day, or when planning for an event.

To Calculate the Cost of a Menu, click [Calculate Menu Costs]:
Calculate Menu Costs button

Then, select the pricing basis for your Menu (either the Best Supplier Price for or Stock Item Value, if you are using our Inventory module) and finally, edit the [Quantity] field next to each Recipe in the Menu, to forecast the quantity of Recipes you expect the venue to produce.

Product Out of Stock Indicators
There is now an Out of Stock checkbox in the Advanced tab of a Product, that the owner of the product can enable:
Out of Stock Advanced tab
Above: Marking a product as Out of Stock in the Product's Advanced tab.
If this setting is enabled on a Product, Purchasers will be warned that the Product is Out of Stock when creating a Requisition. The Purchasers are not prevented from adding the Product to the Requisition - it is a warning only.

Inventory Recipes
Inventory Users Only

There is now a new [Inventory] column in the All Recipes table, indicating if the Recipe is an Inventory Recipe or not.

An Inventory Recipe will only allow Stock Items to be added as Ingredients, and it will show Ingredient and Recipe costings in Stock Item Average Unit Value (as opposed to current Supplier Quotes). Non-Inventory Recipes will accept any Product as an Ingredient.

There is now a [Workflow] column available in the All Invoices table view, when using New Approval Workflows for Invoices. Clicking on the button in the Workflow column will display information about the Workflow that this Invoice is placed in - for example, previous Approvers, next available Approver(s), timestamps, and more.

There is now a Print option on a Goods Receiving Note for users of our Inventory module. Simply click the [Print] button in the header of the Receiving Note, and a browser dialog box will appear, prompting you to select your printer and printing options.
