Pulling Fourth Sales Forecasts into Tenzo
The P2P&I (FnB Manager) feed can optionally include Fourth's daily sales forecast. When enabled at setup, Tenzo ingests either Fourth's local forecast or budget figure (chosen at setup) as the sales forecast for each mapped location. Ask your Customer Success Manager if you would like this enabled.
How Do I Compare Fourth P2P&I (FnB Manager) Data to Data in Tenzo?
Compare against your Fourth inventory reporting for the same date range and unit. Delivery totals, usage and wastage should reconcile per product.
A few things to expect. Fourth groups products across five category levels but Tenzo uses the first one, so a product's category in Tenzo is its top-level grouping rather than its most specific one. Purchase cost arrives as a single figure that Tenzo records as both the with-tax and without-tax value, so a tax-exclusive comparison in Fourth will not line up. Theoretical usage arrives as a cost only, with no quantity attached, so it will not reconcile against a quantity-based usage report. Recipe and menu-item costs are not part of this feed, so menu profitability is not available from it.
