It often happens that you receive goods from the supplier in transport packaging when you wanted to receive individual units. That is, they will be sold as such.

Example:

Ordering sets of goods with supplier. Let's assign the POTS & PANS ID.

The set will be exibited in retail sales, but individual items of the set will be sold. Let us list them:

• POT
• PAN

What next?

1. Items

Enter ID of set as well as item IDs which make up the set in the Items register.

1. Component ID

First enter IDs of items that make up the set in the register. Use item type 200 – type B. In our case:

• POT
• PAN

Enter valid purchase and sale prices in the Costing/Pricing panel for receiving and issuing items.

2. ID of Packaged Goods

In the second stage enter parent item, that is, the set. Use item type 202 – type A. This way you are able to enter parent item ID in purchase orders. Lines of receiving are created from data that can be found in specification.

Enter norm used in converting parent item to units of receiving in Specification. It is used when creating document of receiving - Parent ID: POTS & PANS, Specification:

• POT, 1pcs
• PAN, 1pcs

You are not required to complete the Costing/Pricing panel since the purchase price is collected from the warehouse and sales ID (in our case the POT and PAN IDs).

2. Purchase Order

Create purchase order for parent item (POTS & PANS) because the supplier delivers you the goods in a set.

3. Recording Goods Received

On receiving, it can be observed in specification that you will be delivered 10 POTS & PANS sets of items.

• Enter ID of parent item as well as the quantity received to the line of receiving:

• When updating a line (by saving or shifting to the next line), lines of receiving are created automatically for items from specification:

4. Issuing Goods and Tracking Stock

In accordance with the abovementioned, the price movements and stock are tracked ONLY FOR ITEMS FOR SALE (in our case: POT and PAN). That is why items POT and PAN are entered in sales orders and documents of issue of goods.

This can be done in the following two ways:

a) by simply entering components of the set to lines of receiving

b) same way as was already described with the receiving of goods, that is:

• Enter parent item ID to the line of receiving:

o POTS & PANS

• after entering and confirming the quantity (e.g. 1 set), lines of receiving are created automatically for items from specification:

o POT, 1 pcs

o PAN, 1 pcs

Warehouse card of parent item (POTS & PANS) remains blank because it is only used to facilitate recalculation of acquired quantities.

	Make the receiving of goods that is ordered in units of measurement of goods transport and sold individually easier by using item type A. To this end create an item ID for use in purchase orders (type A) as well as additional item ID for use in documents of receiving or issuing (type B, K,...).
