Cost of Goods in Micros Help

[Russman52]

Hey Everyone,

I'm having an issue in Micros to where my cost of goods is always 28%. I want to manually enter each COG based on my purchasing prices but they are not updating properly in oracle.

What report or where are you seeing this 28% number?
And where are you entering your cogs %? I believe for the most part you need to actually have cost items entered.
And what systems?

Hey Wildbar, I have not been able to locate where this 28% percent number would be, so i haven't seen where it was entered. But every COG on every item is 28% on the COG reporting in mymicros. I've even entered the information for each item. Although recently I found an option under POS Config>employees>back office classes, that said 'set inventory item cost'. That option had two ways I could do it, one said 'none' and the other said 'full'. It was on 'none' and I changed it to 'full' to see if anything happened. Does that sound like it could be right? maybe if it was on 'none' it was going to a default rate or something?

Can i ask do you use myinventory? The local Product Management? Or the old food cost item in Menu Items? Or have you used any of these in the past?
I am trying to figure this out for myself. It seems mymicros pulls the cost of sales number first from my inventory cost of sales. If that number is not there it then pulls it from Product management cost of sales. If that number is not there it seems to find another number. Which seems to be your 28% Wondering if its a default number they have.

to my knowledge we have never used myinventory, or local product management, or thee other. I feel stupid for admitting this but I had a lot of items that were labeled for multi priced level instead of single priced level. So basically I was just entering the cost of goods in column 1 and expecting it to reflect with every day. Since I've gone in and changed all of the pricing on all the days, it's been exactly what i wanted.

Russman52 can you take a screenshot of where you are seeing this 28% and post it?
