Correct a food cost

Use a correction when the saved amount or unit was wrong. If the real cost changed, record a new dated estimate so earlier dates keep the cost that applied then.

  1. Open Menu & costs, find the item, and select Manage cost.
  2. In the cost history, choose the estimate that is wrong and select Correct estimate.
  3. Review the affected dates shown in the editor. Correct the amount, unit or Applies from date as needed. If Applies until (optional) is shown, check that date too.
  4. Select Save correction.
  5. Reopen the item’s history and check a report for an affected date. Confirm that the corrected estimate is used.

A correction changes the stored estimate for its affected dates. See how estimates apply over time.
