Various features related to recording roasting data can be set in the configuration window. <h3>Roast Coffee</h3> <p>Once at least one coffee roaster has been configured, it will be available from the selector next to the Roast Coffee button. When you want to roast coffee, select the machine you'll be using and click the Roast Coffee button. This will take you to <a href="logging.html">the logging view.</a></p> <h3>Purchase Green Coffee</h3> <p>Typica tracks green coffee inventory. This button allows you to enter the details of green coffee purchases.</p> <h3>Manage Roasted Coffee Items</h3> <p>When entering the details of a new production batch, you will want to select a roasted coffee item. This is connected to the green coffee(s) used, a target roast profile and roasting specification if set. This button allows you to create new roasted coffee items, discontinue items so that they will not show up in lists, and bring back old items.</p> <h3>Edit Roasting Specification</h3> <p>Expected percent weight loss and other information can be presented when roasting coffee for use in determining if a batch matches its product specification.</p> <h3>Update Inventory</h3> <p>Inventory and loss transactions can be used to adjust green coffee inventory.</p> <h3>New Cupping Session</h3> <h3>Join Cupping Session</h3> <h3>Summarize Cupping Session</h3> <p>Typica includes a set of cupping features. Some people use this, but the author does not recommend it. Something much better will be available in the future.</p> <h3>View Target Roast Profiles</h3> <p>Any data ever saved as a target roast profile for roasted coffee items can be seen here.</p> <h3>Import Target Roast Profiles</h3> <p>It is possible to save batch data to disk instead of or in addition to saving that to the database. These files can be shared with other people using Typica. If you want to set data from one of these files as a target roast profile for a given roasted coffee item, this is where you do that. <h3>Enter Green Coffee Sales</h3> <p>If you sell green coffee, the inventory can be adjusted to reflect that here.</p> <h2>Reports Menu</h2> <img src="reportsmenu.png" /> <h3>Production</h3> <p>Production reports present information related to coffee roasting activity.</p> <img src="productionreports.png" /> <h3>Average Use and Cost by Origin</h3> <h3>Previous Year Production Comparison</h3> <h3>Cost of Green Coffee for Roasted Coffee</h3> <h3>Daily Production Report (Detailed)</h3> <h3>Batch Log</h3> <h3>Previous Year Production Comparison By Month</h3> <h3>Production Summary</h3> <h3>Reminders</h3> <h3>Recent Average Coffee Production</h3> <h3>Purchase</h3> <p>Purchase reports present information related to green coffee purchases.</p> <img src="purchasereports.png" /> <h3>Coffee Purchase Previous Years Comparison</h3> <h3>Invoices</h3> <h3>Sales</h3> <p>Sales reports present information related to sales.</p> <img src="salesreport.png" /> <h3>Green Coffee Sales</h3> <h3>Inventory</h3> <p>Inventory reports present information on inventory.</p> <img src="inventoryreports.png" /> <h3>Inventory Change Summary</h3> <h3>Current Inventory and Availability Projection</h3> <h3>Item Transactions</h3> <h2>Database Menu</h2> <h3>Forget Connection Details</h3> <p>This menu item can be used to force Typica to prompt for database connection information the next time Typica is opened.</p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
