Adding Different Units on the Cost and Selling Prices Tab

The multiple units of measure lets you to define various units for purchasing and selling inventory items. This means you can buy and sell in different units while keeping stock management seamless.

For example, you might sell beer by the bottle (1 unit), by the six-pack (6 bottles), or by the crate (24 bottles). Each unit can have its own barcode, ensuring accurate stock tracking and consolidation. You can purchase beer by the crate but sell it in any of these units, and Smart-It will correctly handle stock taking and consolidating quantities.
