    • Enter the Name in Khmer (e.g., កែវ) and English.
    • Enter the Brand name in Khmer (e.g., កែវ).

    • Select the brand.
  6. Set the Inventory options:
    • Click the Inventory panel to expand it.
    • Ensure that Track stock toggle is enabled.
    • Under Availability in store, check your store to make the item available in the store.

    • Disable Show In POS by toggling the switch off.
    • Disable Show In Cloud by toggling the switch off.
  8. Click Create to save the new ingredient item.
  9. Repeat steps 3–8 for any other ingredients you need to define (e.g., coffee beans).
  10. Add new stock using MyLekha Dashboard:
    • On the MyLekha Dashboard, click Inventory.
    • Click Purchase.
    • Click + Add new.
    • Under Operated in store, select a store.
    • Under Supplier, select a supplier.
    • Under Employee, select an employee.
    • Click on the Select item field and select an ingredient.
    • Enter the Quantity and Received number.
    • Click + Add under Payments.
    • Select a payment type and submit.
    • Click Create.
  11. Link the ingredients to the Hot Black Coffee item:
    • Navigate to Item and select Standard.
    • Find the Hot black coffee item.
    • Click on the Hot black coffee item.
    • In the Inventory panel, enable the Has ingredient toggle.
    • In the Select item dropdown, select a cup.
    • In the Select item dropdown, select coffee beans. If the Select Item field is showing a 1.0, enter 20 for 20g of coffee beans and click Confirm.
  12. Click Update.

Tips​

  • For ingredients like coffee beans where you buy in kilograms but use in grams, set the cost to the price of ONE gram rather than one kilogram.
  • Be careful to accurately enter both Quantity and Received fields when adding new stock. If you don’t specify the Received quantity, the stock will not be updated, even if you specify the Quantity that you've ordered.
  • Once you set up ingredients, set the appropriate values and click Update, the system automatically calculates the cost of the item.
