Deleting an Ingredient
By design, our system does allow you to delete data that has historical reporting. Instead, we recommend that you change the name for prepped items or ingredients with a preface of X or DNU or Do Not Use.
If you have any questions about deleting anything from the system, it is recommended that you consult with us first so that you don't create unintended consequences.
Please note, deleting an ingredient will remove history in the following locations and features in your site, this change can not be restored:

We want to ensure that all customers have access to our most current templates for the bulk import of data into Decision Logic. We can generate the following templates for you at any time. These can be returned via email to helpdesk@decisionlogic.co
Import Templates
Ingredients
Bid file Items
Menu items
How it works:
Start with the Ingredient Template. Fill that out with any items we need to set up for inventory and send it back to helpdesk@decisionlogic.co
Once we import ingredients for you, you can ask we generate a new version of the attached bid file template that will contain all the new ingredients we just imported to help you quickly complete bid file mapping
Fill out 1 Bid File Template for each mydlweb.com (Restaurant website) for each Distributor, we are adding items for and send it them back to us.
Example: If we are adding bid files to 5 different distributors you would send back 5 different excel files each named by the Distributor.
4. Once we import the next steps for you would be:
Add new Ingredients to Inventory Set
Add bid file items to Order Guides
Build Recipes in Recipe Book
Bulk Menu Item Import . For those using Recipe Book, this feature is currently disabled on your sites in the user interface but we can still import items via the database with the templates.
Please do not change the template format or data references contained in the template.
The templates are designed to directly insert into your database.
If the file is returned modified beyond repair or with import validation errors, we will send it back and ask you correct or create a new file.
You can ask us for a new bid file template anytime you add new ingredients.
