If you have a limited number of items available, you can set a maximum quantity that can be sold within your Supplier Portal.
- Log in to your Supplier Portal and click 'Items', then the relevant service type from the navigation bar.
- Select the item that you would like to set a sell limit for.
- Select one of the below options:
Per service time: this limits the number of items able to be ordered each service time. For example, if you set a limit of 10, a maximum of 10 sandwiches can be ordered at lunch, and 10 at recess.
Total: this is the number available to be ordered across all services. For example, if you set a limit of 10, if 4 sandwiches are sold at lunch, only 6 more can be sold. Once the remaining 6 are sold, this item will be out of stock until the limit is updated. - Click 'Save'.
When setting a limit, please note that items that have been ordered in advance will not be counted towards the set limit.
For example, if you set a limit of 5 on sandwiches and there are existing orders for this item, you would still have the capacity to sell another 5 sandwiches after applying the Quantity Sell Limit.
Before applying a sell limit, we recommend confirming in Item Management whether these items have already been pre-ordered.
