      Although items are shared between menuPick, Nutrition Tool, Production Management (NCIS) and POS, production items can only be added through Production Management or the Nutrition Tool. If you add items through menuPick, you will need to edit them to make them production items.

      For instructions on how to add an item that is both a production item and an ingredient (for example, mashed potato, which is produced to a recipe, and is also used to top Shepherd's Pie), please click here: [https://scribehow.com/shared/Add_an_Ingredient__qHYkKP7-QaOppyNhSZegig](https://scribehow.com/shared/Add_an_Ingredient__qHYkKP7-QaOppyNhSZegig)
      Navigate to Synbiotix
      Enter your username and password and click "Login"
      Select Production Management
      Production Management is called "NCIS" in some systems but the functionality is the same
      Click "Administration"
      Click "Items"
      Click "Add Item"
      Enter the item name
      The "Item Name (Labels)" field can be used to enter an alternative name for the item that is used on menus and labels. In this example, we want the labels to indicate that the curry is spicy.
      If you don't fill out the "Item Name (Labels)" field, the system will use the "Item Name" by default
      Select the item unit of measure. Typically, this is "PIECE" for items served to patients, and "KILOGRAM" or "LITRE" for ingredients, but there are some exceptions. An example would be sausages, as these are added as a "piece" (a whole sausage) to a recipe
      Change the "Produced by CPU" toggle to "YES"
      You won't be able to use the item for a recipe if the "Produced by CPU" toggle is set to "NO"
      If you want to record ingredient batch info when producing the item, change the "Require Batch Info" toggle to "YES"
      Select the Meal Report Category. This dictates where the item will show in system reports
      Select the item storage type. This is a filter that can be used when performing a stock take
      Select the label name
      Most of our customers don't use the label name option. If this is the case for your site, leave this as is
