Scheduling fresh food using the tool in AMS

The Fresh Food Scheduling tool enables you to include fresh food items on the same restock orders containing products that are restocked using the min/max par level. You can schedule inventory restock two ways: using the Location page, or using the Inventory menu.

Using the Scheduled Product Tool for Locations

In AMS toolbar, click MARKETS, select LOCATIONS, and then click a location in this list to open the record.

Click VIEW PRODUCTS, expand the Product Category Filter drop- down list, and select Fresh Food from the list.

Avanti Support team can also turn the static Schedule tool into an import product push tool, which is different. The process of importing the fresh food products is the same as the schedule products process. Once you have imported, click the updated schedule, and all products are pushed to the market at that time. Doing this:

Saves time for the route driver
Is more efficient than pushing items in AMS
Pushes all items in the same week
