•Under EventPro Setup > Resources > Beverages, there are two sub-tabs: Items and Configurations.
oThe Items tab contains Beverage Items grouped by Category.
oThe Configurations tab contains Beverage Configurations, which are grouped under Configuration Groups, which are in turn grouped by Financial Subgroup.
•In other words, Beverages Setup - like Catering - is organized under five levels:
oFinancial Subgroup
oConfiguration Group
oConfiguration
oCategory
oItem
•Here is a simplified example of the five levels:
•Of these five beverage levels, only the Configuration, Category and Item levels will appear on reports such as the Event BEO or Event Catering & Beverage sheet.
oSo while clients may see Configurations, Categories and Items in reports you provide to them, they won't see the two higher levels.
oConfiguration Groups and Financial Subgroups are for your organization's internal use only.
•The Configuration Groups are mostly useful for organizing your beverage services and making beverage selection easier for event staff by narrowing down lists of choices.
•The Financial Subgroups become relevant when working with financial data, e.g. viewing the Event Financial Summary, or invoicing for an event.
