How to Update a Food Order

Note: the creating, viewing, updating or deleting of a food order within My Recipe Manager requires the user to have the appropriate security (role) assigned to them. To view the list of available roles and what they allow a user to do click here.

Warning: do not change 'Purchased by Food Technician' from 'No' to 'Yes' until after the shopping list for this order has been finalised i.e. created, printed, purchased and distributed. If you change this to 'Yes' the food order will not appear in your shopping list regardless of you changing 'Add to Shopping List' to 'Yes' (ticking the box).

To update a food order follow the instructions below:

1. Select the menu titled 'Food Orders' (refer to the image below). If you cannot see this menu then you do not have the appropriate security role assigned to your user account - please contact the person at your school who manages the schools user accounts.
   
   or from the 'Home' page select the below menu
   
2. When the main 'Food Order' page opens, locate the food order that you wish to update. Hover your mouse over the food order and a three dotted icon will appear (refer to the image below).
   
   
   
3. Select the three dotted icon with your mouse pointer and the food order will display a heavy border around it to indicate that this food order has been selected. A set of menus will also appear (refer to the image below).
