Sell by weight and in packs

Sell loose goods by the kg, litre or metre. Sell a bag, tray or sack at its own price, with stock kept in the smaller unit.

Set up a loose product

1. Open the product and click Edit, or add a new one.
2. Under How it's sold, set Sold by to Weight · kg, Volume · L or Length · m.
3. The price, cost and stock are now per kg (or per L, per m). To type amounts in grams or ml instead, set Type amounts in to g or ml. The price stays per kg or L.
4. Under Smallest amount at the POS, enter the least the POS may sell, like 0.05 kg. Leave it blank for 5 g.
5. If a counter scale prints labels for it, enter its Scale item code, 4 to 6 digits.
6. Click Save changes (or Add product for a new one).

Add a pack

1. In the same product, under How it's sold, click + Add a pack.
2. Enter the pack's Name, like Bag of 5 kg or Tray of 30.
3. Under Holds, enter how much one pack holds.
4. Enter its Price, and its Barcode if it has one.
5. Leave Sold on to sell the pack at the POS. Leave Bought on to receive it from suppliers.
6. Save the product.
