How to Delete 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 delete a food order if that food order has been purchased but not yet distributed back to the class that ordered it. If you were to delete such a food order there is no way for the Food Technician/Teacher to know who to distribute the purchased ingredients to.

Only delete a food order under the below circumstances.

1. You created the food order by mistake.
2. The food order you created is a duplicate of another food order that was created.
3. The food order has not been marked for purchase i.e. 'Add to Shopping List' is unticked.
4. The food order is no longer required by your Food Technician i.e. the ingredients have been purchased and distributed back to the class who the order was placed for.
5. There is no requirement to add the food order to a shopping list.
6. There is no requirement to print the food order.
7. There is no requirement for the Food Technician to print or run a class allocation report for the food order.
