Units

Adding Units

Step 1: Access Units

• Go to Products → Units.

Step 2: Add a Basic Unit

1. Enter the Unit Name (e.g., Meter).

2. Enter a Short Name (e.g., Mtr.).

3. Choose whether to Allow Decimals.

   • Enabling decimals allows buying and selling in fractional quantities.

Step 3: Add Multiple Units (Optional)

• Use this when purchasing and selling in different units.

  • Example: Purchase in dozens, sell in pieces.
  • Example: Purchase in boxes, sell in pieces.

Steps

1. Add the lower unit first (e.g., Pieces).

2. Add the higher unit:

   • Check “Add as multiple of another unit.”
   • Enter the conversion ratio.

3. When adding/editing products, select the desired unit from the dropdown.

   • Purchase and sales prices adjust automatically.

4. Note: Only the lower unit is used to store transactions. Changing conversions later will adjust existing purchase/sales quantities accordingly.

Step 4: Enable and Select Relevant Sub-Units (Optional)

• Useful if only some sub-units apply to a product.
• Example: Sell oranges only in dozens or pieces.

Steps

1. Enable feature: Business Settings → Products → Enable relevant sub-units.
2. When adding a product, select the main unit and choose the applicable sub-units.
3. Purchases and sales can now be performed in these selected sub-units.
