Follow one reviewed cost change through the restaurant.

A vendor cost moves. Dynamic.ly keeps the source attached, shows which recipe or inventory position changed with it, and gives the manager a next step they can inspect.

Illustrative product views using example data. Not customer records, results, or live provider actions.

Cost history preserves the previous and current salmon cost and its source.

01 / Source

It starts with the record.

The invoice line stays tied to the vendor, pack size, unit, and review state. A suggested match does not become restaurant truth until someone confirms it.

Reviewed salmon line: 1 lb at $18.40, inventory item and source page attached. Invoice approval remains required.

02 / Cost

The reviewed cost reaches the ingredient.

Once confirmed, the vendor cost joins the ingredient history. Different vendor names and case sizes still resolve to one restaurant ingredient.

Salmon ingredient cost history: $17.10 to $18.40 per pound.

Three vendor names, one canonical record. A 10 lb case that does not resolve cleanly stays in review rather than quietly changing the cost.

03 / Consequence

Then the dish moves.

Reviewed values and defined rules determine the recipe calculation. Recipe cost and the configured price floor are different values. No menu price changes here.

Inventory risk: 18 pounds of salmon and estimated exposure, not a measured loss.

Secondary annotation

An example inventory record shows 18 lb of salmon and an upcoming expiry date. This is estimated exposure, subject to count and source review—not confirmed waste. Inventory stays read-only.

04 / Decision

The next step arrives with the reason and the limits.

One Action Card carries the source, why now, service window, margin floor, quantity cap, and estimated impact. The manager can inspect the whole case before doing anything.
