Food Drives

Required Fields:  ***'''THIS PROCESS IS STILL UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND DOES NOT FUNCTION AT THIS TIME******

Product must be checked Is Food Drive.

Product Donor must be checked Enabled for Food Drive.

Process Description:

A Food Drive is when a donor or a group of donors collects donations from the general public for the food bank.  When products are received it is up to the food bank to determine how they will be sorted.  A product must be created to account for the inventory and the product category will be food drive.  There can be general product references such as food drive vegetables, food drive meats, food drive desserts, etc. or even less specific such as food drive cans food drive boxed food, etc.

Process:

To use food drives there are some steps that must be completed.    

1) A product must be check marked as Is Food Drive.

2) The Product Donor should be checked Is Default Food Drive in order to be included.  If the donor is not checked you will have to manually check the Is Food Drive box in the prereceipt Operations tab. This is true in the opposite if your donor usually participates in food drives or retail pickup you can default it to that and then during the prereceipt process you can uncheck the box(es) if they do not apply in this particular situation.

3) A PreReceipt must be created. On the Operations tab there should be a check mark in the Food Drive box.

4) Once the product is received click Mark As Received on the PreReceipt and it now becomes a receipt and the product becomes part of the inventory. (You can also convert it to an order if the food bank picks it up and then drops it to a specific agency.)
