Hi
I want to know what the default/out-of-the-box way is to setup multiple units of measure / packaging units for one and the same product.
E.g. products A
-
UOM piece
-
UOM small box : 6 x piece
-
UOM big box: 10 x piece
-
…
The idea would be that the inventory is correctly adjusted when a box is shipped.
E.g. 2 big boxes = - 20 pieces.
It should also be possible to add a different price to each unit.
E.g.
-
1 piece: € 1
-
1 small box : € 5
-
1 big box: € 7
-
…
I searched a bit on this fora and read about:
bundles:
I can understand this is an approach when your bundling several different products A, B, C, … (with some unit of measure, e.g. each time 1 piece) together.
But it seems weird to me this would be the out-of-the-box approach to have different packaging units.
variants:
I can understand this is an approach for simular products where 1 product charateristic like color or size differs.
But in ERP design such element isn’t used for the unit of measure.
I also don’t see how it can work because I’ve got the impression every variant has its own inventory.
Thx for your help.
