If a production run was recorded wrong, you reverse it. You do not delete it. The original run stays on record, and the reversal sits beside it as a new, dated entry. This guide explains when to reverse a run, how the reversal works in Wady Central, and what to do when the real problem is spoiled food.
Key takeaways
Wady Central does not delete a run. You fix a wrong run with a reversal, a new entry with its own date.
You can reverse a run in full or in part, at the values of the day the run was made.
The original run stays visible, so any stock figure can still be traced to the documents behind it.
Food that was made and then spoiled is wastage, not a reversal.
What is a reversal for?
A reversal fixes a run that should not stand as recorded. The wrong recipe, the wrong number of batches, a quantity typed with a slip, and the same run entered twice are all reasons to reverse.
Nothing in Wady Central is locked or deleted. You fix a mistake with a new, visible, dated correction. The run you reverse stays on screen with the reversal beside it, so anyone who reads the history later sees what was recorded and what was corrected.
⚠️ Watch out: Two cases are not reversals. Food that was made and then spoiled is wastage, so record it as wastage. And if you have not recorded the run yet, type over the quantities in the drawer instead.
How do you reverse a production run in Wady Central?
You reverse a run from the run itself. The original stays as it was recorded.
Find the run. Each run is a numbered entry with a reference that starts with PROD-. You can read the reference on the Production Out line in the History of any ingredient the run used.
Open the run and reverse it. Choose whether to reverse the whole run or only part of it.
Check the result. The reversal is a new entry with its own date. The original run stays visible, with the correction beside it.
Record the right run. If the kitchen did make something, record the run again with the right quantities. See how to record a production run.
Before you reverse
Check that the reference, the recipe and the date match the run you mean.
Decide whether the run was wrong or the food was lost. Lost food is wastage.
Decide whether you need the whole run reversed or only part of it.
What happens to stock?
A reversal undoes what the run did to stock, in full or in the part you choose, at the values of the day the run was made. The stock history keeps both lines, the run and its reversal, so each balance still explains itself. See stock movement history.
