Custom Report: Food Orders Recipe and Shopping List (Week Starting)

Note: to access and run custom reports within My Recipe Manager requires the 'Custom Reports' (role) to be assigned to the users account by a school administrator. To view the list of available roles and what they allow a user to do click here.

Hint: to reset the custom report back to its default setting first select the 'Reset' button then select the 'Submit' button.

This custom report was created at the request of a school to assist them in readily identifying what ingredients were associated with the recipes* on their shopping list. This report allows for a school to recognise if any ingredients have been missed or miss calculated for a specific recipe without having to check each recipe one at a time in My Recipe Manager.

Dependences*

For this report to function correctly you must ensure the below:

  • Only the food orders applicable to your current shopping list should be assigned to your shopping list i.e. if you have expired, future dated or unwanted food orders still assigned to your shopping list then their recipes will also appear in this report. To read the topic on how to delete expired food orders click here.

  • Teacher's name will only display if they are recorded against the class name.

  • The information you record in My Recipe Manager is up to date.
