Ingredient prices are updated from the Supplier Ingredient Prices dialog and from the Ingredient Prices dialog.
The Supplier Ingredient Prices dialog (see diagram below) lets you select ingredients associated with a particular supplier and then edit those ingredient's prices. This dialog is particularly useful if you wish to enter ingredient prices directly from a supplier invoice.
Each of the controls in the dialog is discussed below along with general operations of this dialog.
Name drop-list
Select a supplier from this drop-list and Resort Chef will fill the ingredient price list with ingredients from the selected supplier.
Ingredient price list
The ingredient price list is where you enter your ingredient prices. There are two price columns for price entry. The first column is for the price of your ingredient in purchase quantity/units and the second column is for the price per purchase unit.
Example: Say you have an ingredient called Flour and you set up it's purchase quantity as 25 kilograms (You would set this up in the Ingredient dialog when you originally created the ingredient). You should enter the price for 25 kilograms of Flour in the first column in the ingredient price list. Alternatively, you could enter a price for just 1 kilogram in the second column of the ingredient price list.
Insert item button - 
Click this button to insert an ingredient from the ingredient price list. This is useful if you wish to associate an ingredient with the current supplier. Resort Chef will display the Search/Select dialog from which you select the ingredient into the ingredient price list. You can achieve the same result by clicking the right mouse button over the ingredient and selecting the Insert option.
Delete item button - 
Click this button to delete an ingredient from the ingredient price list. This is useful if an ingredient appears in the list and you wish to remove the ingredient from the list, thereby breaking the relationship between the supplier and the ingredient. You can achieve the same result by clicking the right mouse button over the ingredient and selecting the Delete option.
NOTE: This function will not delete the ingredient from the database, but just from the ingredient price list.
Fill-down button - 
This option lets you fill in a number of prices at a single stroke. This is useful when you have a number of consecutive ingredients in the ingredient price list, all of which have the same price.
To use this button, enter the price for the first of your ingredients, then starting at that ingredient, block select all of the ingredients you wish to adjust and then click the fill-down button. Resort Chef will set prices for all of the ingredients to that of the first ingredient (see diagram below).
Edit button - 
Click this button to edit the details of the currently selected ingredient in the ingredient price list. This will display the Ingredient dialog to let you edit the ingredient.
You can achieve the same result by double clicking an ingredient.
