This is a part of the New Commissary module of the Smart Ops Release. Click here to learn more about the Smart Ops Release.



Commissary Order Guides are the pre-built guides that Ordering Locations are given access to when they need to enter orders from one or more Commissary Locations. Order Guides can be created and managed from the Order Guides page to reflect current Commissary Items and their costs.


Order Guides can be updated at any time, including having items and/or an entire guide marked as 'Unavailable' to hide from Ordering Locations until items are restocked or Seasonal Items are made available.

Add Items


When adding Commissary Items, Users can either add all Commissary Items by clicking the'+ All Com Items' button above the Commissary Items grid or add items individually by clicking '+ Add Item' in the Commissary Items grid.



Once '+ Add Item' is clicked, the User can then search for the Commissary Item's name in the Commissary Item field. A listing of all related items will appear for the User to choose from. Once chosen, the User can then update the following details about this item:

  • Available Toggle- When toggled on (displays as blue), this makes the Commissary Item available to order within this Order Guide
    • Note: At any point, an item can be marked as unavailable due to a lack of inventory or if it is a seasonal item. Toggling this off will then only make this item unavailable to order from this guide. To make this item unavailable for all guides, toggle off the 'Available' toggle on the Catalog page
  • Markup Type and Amount- This dictates the markup percentage or price of the item, if any. The markup amount can be updated by clicking into this field, choosing the correct Markup Type, entering in the Markup Amount, and then clicking out of the field. This will automatically update the After-Markup Price for the item. Markup Types include:
    •  - The percentage of the Cost per UofM that should be marked up
    •  - The dollar amount that should be added to the Cost per UofM
    • - The flat rate price of the Commissary Item regardless of its Cost per UofM
      • Note: The Markup Amount can be entered as a positive or negative value. For items that have a Markup different from the Commissary Item record in the Catalog, an orange unlink icon will be displayed next to the Markup amount
