Products Purchased in Different Quantity than Sold

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 390

We have some items (like patch cables), where we can purchase as

- Each--qty of 1--with it's own product number from the vendor

-Truck Pack--qty of 25--with its own product number from the vendor

We mostly sell them as Each but on larger jobs will sell a whole Truck Pack

So then how do we set up the Product in FS365?
   Do we create two separate Products--one with Unit of Each, the other with Unit of Truck Pack (which would be a 25 Qty of Each), or is there a different way that is best?

    We have those unit groups and units created.

    when you say, I just need one product with the following configurations. I don’t know what that means.

    In testing and I created a product with each as the unit. Then I ordered the product on a purchase order changing the unit to a truck pack.  Then I put the product on a work order as an each.

    My confusion came when I looked at inventory.  It showed two line items.
    Patch cable-Each                Qty -1

    Patch cable-Truck Pack       Qty 1

    How does this get reconciled?
