Each item available in the database can be assigned to another item as a component. If the item searched for is not found in the database, you can create a one-off item or a master item on-the-fly. One-off items, subtotals or remarks can also be added as components.

1. Go to the  Components tab in the side navigation.
2. Click on  Add >  Search item to find and insert an existing item.
3. Alternatively, start a matchcode search in the search field by entering the first few letters of an item name and pressing Enter. This will return a list of all items containing this letter string.
4. Click on  Add >  New to create a new master item on-the-fly and add it as a component.
5. To create a one-off item only in this one context, click on  Add >  Item groups.
   Ex: unusual buffet component or beverage group
6. Then enter the name of the one-off item and, when prompted, select the option Do not create.
7. Also insert  Remarks,  Subtotals of different levels and   Separator texts as needed.
8.  Save your input by clicking on the icon in the top left-hand corner of the input window.
