What and where is the Non-IvA Usage report?
This article shows users where to find the Non-IvA report and what it means.
Overview
The Non-IvA report shows actual usage quantities for items not tracked in a recipe or not flagged as “IvA'' in Ingredient Management.
Often non-tracked items include product that a store cannot control based on the customer’s use, are not built into recipes, or are a cost of business, for example:
Self-serving fountain drinks, coffee, or tea.
Condiments.
Napkins.
Fryer Oil.

The report provides the Actual Cases, Price, Usage in Dollar Amount, and Percentage of Sales.
Users can click on an individual item to display the Product Details, which provides a more in-depth look at the calculations for the item.
If a single-store is selected in the parameters and is missing an inventory during the date range selected, an alert will appear and the page will not show data.
Above-store users who have access to multiple locations will have a clear view of only stores that have posted all inventories during the date range selected to provide accurate data. A message will appear, and the user can click View Stores to see the locations that do not have inventories posted.
Clicking View Stores populates a side panel displaying the stores excluded from the results. This means that the store(s) do not have posted all inventories for the selected timeframe and are omitted from reporting.
