I have read this and other discussions and am not seeing where a complete solution is in place.
To explain, we sell pre-packaged meat products. Example would be 1lb packages of ground meat. We sell this both through online store as well as direct POS at markets, etc. As an example, we would charge $6.67 per pound for ground beef. At the POS, the individual package may weigh .89lbs. I need to be able to charge the customer .89 of the $6.67 per lb price point. I also need for when the sell transaction completes, the customer’s receipt display that they purchased .89 lbs of ground beef as well as have a manner in which Shopify Inventory understands that I just sold 1 “unit” of ground beef to make inventory adjustment. So instead of having 347 “1 lb” packages of ground beef, I now only have 346.
My current work around method is creating separate POS products in my store (tagged POS and only available in the POS sales channel and does not track inventory) and my unit value for charge and cost are 1/10th lb products. From my example above, in the POS sales channel, I have ground beef with a unit charge of .67 If a customer purchases a pkg weighing .89 pounds, the receipt will show they purchased 8 units (rounding down so customer doesn’t overpay but at same time, we are losing money because I have no other way to accurately charge). The second issue is that we now 2 “ground beef” products in our store with online sales channel “ground beef” being tracked for inventory. We have to manually track POS sold items and manually update Online inventory to reflect sold units.
Please respond and timely. We have literally lost $350 in the last 4 weeks because we can not accurately charge to the 1/100th decimal value. We also spend several hours trying to reconcile inventory totals.
The ideal solution would work 1 of 2 ways: create a separate line item for each pkg sold regardless they are the same unit (i.e. - ground beef) capturing the weight for each pkg., or 2) ask how many units of 1 product are being purchased and then capturing the pkg. weight of each unit or total weight of all pkgs (receipt would show 3 units(pkgs) for total of 2.95lbs). The pkg totals would then subtract from appropriate inventory product.
