Topic: Inventory Item Standard packing Quantity information

Good day to you.

Should we consider the Inventory Item Standard packing information.
Information such as follows :

a) Standard Packing Quantity.
b) Weight.
c) Packaging dimension.

It would be usefull especially for the Purchase Ordering awareness of such stardard packing and Label printing for Invoice/Delivering purposes.

Thank you.

Adding more fields in Items is not a problem (in next release - 2.3 database stucture is frozen), but how you would like to use it in PO. Just as read only information displayed after item is selected?

Hi, Itronics

As the purchase order entry, when quantity entered, example based on standard packing of 2000/bag, it should prompt warning! when quantity entered is 11000pcs.. as 5.5 bags is not allow, there is no 0.5 per bag or 1000pcs/bag

Yes, I agree about quantity control in purchase module - this surely should be improved, and optional warning/blocking should be selected on purchase/item basis using additional option in Items/Purchasing Pricing. But what about weight & dimensions? The only reason for adding this  would be freight costs calculations which are not implemented so far.

Thank you for prompt feedback..

On weight & dimension, exactly is for freight cost implementation. However, at the mean time it could use for a guide for sales/admin staff for them to estimated total estimated weight/volumn metric to feedback customer.

As such information, is advantage to decide what type of shipping mode to use.
