Measured Articles - Setup & Configuration

A specific type of article that can be used with GASTROFIX are Measured Articles. This article-type allows you to enter the amount/weight while taking an order. This is especially useful for high-quality meat or other produces that is priced by weight.

An article is setup in three steps:

• Creation of Article-Type 'Measured Article'
• Adjustement of Article-Group
• Creation of Measured Article
• Adjustement of Bill-Layout

Creation of Article-Type 'Measured Article'

Measured articles can only be used in the GASTROFIX Cloud, after the corresponding article-type is added. This setting is only visible to the GASTROFIX Support-Team. If you want to add measured articles, please contact the GASTROFIX Support and they will add it for you!

Adjustement of Article-Group

Go to the GASTROFIX Cloud and switch to Master Data -> Article-Group. Either adjust the article-group that will contain the measured article, or create a new entry. In this example a new article-goup is created.

Important: Watch out that the VAT-Rate for the article-group is correct.

In the detailled tab, the following setting is obligatory:

• Unit: Enter the unit of measurement which the article group should use e.g. g/oz for meat, piece (pc) for fruits, etc.

The other settings can either be kept the same (if an existing article-group is used), or be set up according to the measured article that will be used. Following is an example:

Creation of new Measured Article

To create a new measured article, first switch to Master Data -> Article and create a new article.

In the detailed view all settings can be changed to create the measured article according to the business needs. If the weight of an article e.g. 1x 235g Filet Mignon should be printed on the bill you have to add <weight> before or after the article name. For example: <weight> Filet Mignon

To use the article in the GASTROFIX app it has to be placed on the corresponding order-screen. To learn more read this article.

Adjustment of Bill-Layout

To print the new article correclty on the bill (with price and weight), the bill-layout has to be adjusted. Switch to Master Data -> Bill-Layout and changed the current layout.

In the layout the follwowing code needs to be implemented between the lines {{#positions}} and {{/positions}}.
