Please note: only users with the "Edit recipes" or "Edit vendors" permission can manage items.
Items are the foundation of your recipes and inventory. They store critical information such as allergens, unit conversions, inventory units, prep methods, yields, and the vendor items tied to your purchasing data.
In opsi, there’s an important distinction between Items and Vendor Items. Vendor items represent the specific products you purchase from invoices. Since the same item can often be sourced from multiple vendors, you can map several vendor items to a single item in your system.
Typically, items are created either when building recipes or through invoice processing. You can view and manage all of your items from the Items page, ensuring everything stays organized and up to date.
