Start New Day
In order to begin serving meals, an operating day must first be started.
- Locate and click on Start New Day from the ribbon or Start Operating Day from the checklist.
- In the Start New Operating Day window, select the correct operating day and click Ok.
Reopen Past Day
Reopen a Past Day allows you to make edits or add transactions to a day that has already been posted.
- Locate and click on Reopen Past Day from the ribbon.
- Select the operating day from the list. Then, click Edit Day.
- Enter a comment explaining the reason you are editing/reopening the serving day.
You will see a process running as the information is pulled into the system.
- Proceed with making any necessary edits/postings.
After School Counts
The After-School Counts allows you to post specific meals (free snack, supper, etc.) that occurred after the last meal of the last operating day without having to re-open and re-post the day. If a second operating day has been started, the ability to select one of the past two operating days is available. Editing after-school counts can only occur once in the below procedures. Additional edits must occur by re-opening and re-posting a day.
- Locate and click on After-School Counts.
Select which operating day in which you wish to enter school counts. Then, click Ok.
This window may not appear if a second operating day has not been started. If this window does not appear, continue to Step 3.
- Enter count numbers for each meal (and fed-by school, if applicable). Then, click Ok.
