Sec. 6c, Accounts / Account Meal Records
 

The Accounts 'Meals' page contains meal service records for the current consumer. The display of records may be sorted in ascending or descending order for each column (Reim and Worker excepted). Records for Today's Date are shown in red, and the total dollar value of meal service for this consumer is shown in the Meals  field at the bottom of the screen.

Each Meal record consists of the Location, Date, the Meal, the Pay-type of the meal, the Cash Drawer used to record the transaction, the meal Item served, if the meal is a Reimbursable, if the meal is a Worker meal, and the Amount (cost) of the meal.

6c.3 Add a Meal Record
Click on the Add button to open the Edit Meal Record screen. Default entries are supplied as shown in Fig. 3. Complete data entry for the new meal as per Sec. 6c.2.1.

Please Note --
More than one Breakfast and/or Lunch meal may be recorded per day. Only one Breakfast meal and one Lunch meal per student per day qualify as reimbursable meals. When meals are recorded using the Cafeteria module, the system automatically recognizes second meals as non-reimbursable and assigns the second meal rate. When you are editing or adding meal records in Accounts, you must make that determination. Attention must be paid to whether or not the meal is a second meal and therefore non-reimbursable. If the Reimbursable checkbox is checked the corresponding meal rate will be used. If the Reimbursable checkbox is unchecked, the second meal rate will be used.

  2. Click on any field in the meal record to open the Edit Meal Record screen. Select 'Yes' to delete that meal record, 'No' to abort from the confirmation prompt.
