Why Scan Price Lists?

Keeping ingredient costs up to date is the chore everyone avoids — so Puree does the typing for you. Instead of copying numbers off a supplier sheet, you upload the sheet and review the result.

Uploading a List

Go to Logistics → Scan document and upload your supplier's price list. It can be a PDF or even a photo of a printed sheet. Puree reads each line and extracts the product, pack size and price. Extraction runs in the background; the page updates as it finishes.

Reviewing Before Anything Changes

Nothing is applied to your library until you say so. Puree shows the extracted lines matched against your existing ingredients. You can:

• Confirm or change which ingredient each line maps to.
• Adjust the pack size or unit where the supplier's format differs from yours.
• Set the supplier for the whole list so it's recorded against the ingredients.

When you apply, the matched costs update. Small changes where the unit already matches can apply automatically; anything ambiguous waits for your confirmation. If an extraction doesn't come out cleanly, you can retry it.

The Payoff

Your ingredient library reflects what you're actually paying this month — and because recipes derive their food cost from those ingredients, every affected dish re-costs automatically. See the Ingredients Library and Recipes & Food Cost topics for the other half of the picture, or for the full overview.
