How to add Units??

  • Go to Products -> Units
  • Give the unit name, a short name, and choose if want the unit to allow decimals.

Example:

Name: Meter

Shortname: Mtr.

Allow Decimal: Yes.

Note: Allowing decimal allows you to purchase/Sell the product in decimal and vice-versa.

 

Multiple Units:

This can be useful if you purchase products in a different unit and sell it in a different unit.

For example, Purchase in dozens and sell in pieces. Or purchase in boxes and sell in pieces.

Steps:

  • Add the lower unit from the Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
  • Add the higher unit
  • Check “Add as multiple of another unit”
  • Provide the conversion Details.
  • Use the unit in Add/Edit Product. While adding/editing purchase/ sale you can see the dropdown for units. Select the desired unit and it will change the unit purchase/sales price accordingly.

NOTE: You will not see the main Units (Dozen in this example) in the Add-Product Unit dropdown, select piece as the unit of product. All purchases/sales get saved in the lower unit (pieces in the above example). So after adding purchases/sales if you edit the conversion details, it will affect the purchases/sales quantity accordingly.
