Edit & Duplicate an Item | FoodEase Help Center

Use this guide after you are familiar with Create an Item. Editing reuses the same form but with important differences.

How to open the edit form

Go to Items → Items (/dashboard/items/items).
Find the item (search, filter by group or class).
Open Actions (⋮) on the row → Edit.

FoodEase opens: /dashboard/items/edit-items/{id}?itemGroup={group}

The correct form loads automatically for that item’s group.

Edit Item form

Header actions in edit mode

Button	What it does
Save	Saves your changes
Duplicate	Opens the create form pre-filled from this item (new product)
Cancel	Returns to the Items list

Reset is not shown when editing.

What you cannot change

Field	Edit behaviour
Item Group	Locked — disabled on the form. To use a different group, duplicate the item and choose the new group on the duplicate.

What you can update

Everything else from the create guide is editable:

Name, short name, description, prep time, item type
Cover and slide images
Tax, UoM, inventory UoM, unit, transformable flag
Cost price, selling price, vendor assignments
Item class, topping class, sales sources
Revenue centre pricing table, prep areas, store locations
Package/Parent child items or Recipe components

Existing values load automatically when the form opens.

Duplicate an item

Duplicating is the fastest way to create a similar product.

Open the item in edit mode.
Click Duplicate (yellow button).
You are taken to /dashboard/items/create-items?id={id}&itemGroup={group} with fields pre-filled.
Change the name and any fields that differ.
Click Save to create a new item (the original is unchanged).

On duplicate, you can change Item Group before saving if needed.

Activate or deactivate from the list

You do not need the edit form to toggle visibility:

On the Items list, open Actions → Toggle.
Requires Toggle Item permission.
Inactive items show in red; active in green.

Price overrides per revenue centre

When editing, you can enable Allow price overrides per revenue centre in the pricing section to set different selling/cost prices per location without changing the base selling price for all centres.

Tips for safe edits

Changing prep areas or store locations affects kitchen routing and inventory — coordinate with managers before changing live items.
Recipe component changes affect food cost and stock deductions — verify quantities after edits.
WhatsApp source still requires a cover image if that channel remains enabled.
Check the Items Activity Log after bulk changes to confirm who changed what.
