Any Questions?
Why can’t I make any of the above changes?
This is likely because you are currently in an open shift. Changes to the menu cannot be made during an open shift. This restriction ensures your GDPdU/GoBD exports remain clear and traceable. It allows you to easily demonstrate to the tax authorities exactly when, for example, an item was available in the menu or what price it had during specific times.
