Buying and Selling in Differnt Quantities
Posted this as a support question - mean to post it here
Greetings
I'm currently setting up PHP POS for a local school who have a requirement to buy and sell in odd quantities.
For example, in the canteen they buy in dumplings in boxes of 100 buy need to sell them in lots of 5 and 10.
I've had a quick look and I can't see any easy way of setting this up so the stock levels stay correct.
The only way I could see it is to cost a single dumpling and then set up a kit of 5 and a kit of 10. Would this solve the problem?
An additional problem is with sandwiches that are pre-prepared for sale. They buy bread by the "loaf" but when they sell a sandwich it has two slices of bread (plus of course the other ingredients). They would like to receive by the "loaf" rather than receive in total slices of bread of course.
Thanks and Regards
Nigel

Item kits would be best way to do this. In reguards to loaf issue you would still need to do by slices as you can’t have a kit inside a kit
In regards to the kit inside a kit issue, In our business this is possible. Is this something you will change in the future?
We are a manufacturer of products.
We have raw materials, each with a PartNo (level-1), Numerous level-1 partnos become another PartNO (Level-2) and then the Final Partno (level-3) is created from several level-1 and/or level-2 Partno.. When Level-2 is built it removes the level-1 product from inventory. When level-3 is built it removes level-2 and sometimes level-1 from inventory. When Level-3 is sold it removes Level-3 from inventory.
So you want to embed kits inside kits correct?
That would be fantastic - it's just a regular Bill of Materials. We would so use that feature.
An indented Bill of Material would be helpful. I have to have multiple kits and sell them to make the one thing I am selling, a group of items. This works fine if you have Features & Options and no Phantoms but is a bit of a pain to keep up with.
