Topic: Bulk pricing

Hi guys,
I buy a box of 24 bars of wax and sell them either as a set of 4 or a set of 8.
How do I set this up in FA?

In my stock items I have product A which is 4 bars of wax and product B which is 8 bars.
I have my purchase pricing set like this:
product A Supplier's Unit as 1 with a conversion factor of 6
product B Supplier's Unit as 1 with a conversion factor of 3

If I'm correct in what I've done, when I buy 1 box of product A, FA will only let me sell product A.
In reality I would break the box of 24 in to 2 x product A (4 bars) and 2 x product B (8 bars).

Is there a way to do this?

Re: Bulk pricing

Hi Joe,
Can you point me at the specific place in the Wiki?
I have read the section on Purchase Prices that shows me how to set up with a single suppliers UOM but I would need to break a single bulk item in to 2 separate sale items.

It's a bit of a tricky one so I'm not expecting FA to be able to deal with it, I'm just putting the question out there in case it can smile

My workaround is to remove one of the items from sale so I only need to break a bulk order in to 1 product.

Can you confirm whether or not FA can break a bulk purchase in to more than 1 sale item?

Re: Bulk pricing

You cannot break a bulk into more than 1 sale item.

Re: Bulk pricing

I use purchase pricing to handle the bulk items.
