This article covers the Prep Sheet report.

The Prep Sheet is a report that gives restaurants suggestions for prep. 

The Prep Sheet uses the average PMIX usage of the same business day for the last four weeks (excluding 0s) to calculate a suggested total quantity of items needed for the business day.  The Prep Sheet sorts items by prep categories and displays what items need to be prepped and how much of each item should be prepped.  This report can be printed and used in the restaurant.
