Different Products have different units. SeroPOS allows you to add different units for products.

Adding Units


  1. Go to Products -> Units
  2. Give the unit name, a short name, and choose if want the unit to allow decimals.

Example:
Name: Meter
Shortname: Mtr.
Allow Decimal: Yes.

Allowing decimal allows you to purchase/Sell the product in decimal and vice-versa.

Multiple Units:

This can be useful if you purchase products in a different unit and sell it in a different unit.

For example: Purchase in dozens and sell in pieces.
Or purchase in boxes and sell in pieces.

Steps:

  1. Add the lower unit from Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
  2. Add the higher unit as per the screenshot:
    • Check “Add as multiple of another unit”


    • Provide the conversion Details.
  1. Use the unit in Add/Edit Product. While adding/editing purchase/ sale you can see the dropdown for units. Select the desired unit and it will change the unit purchase/sales price accordingly.

NOTE: You will not see the main Units (Dozen in this example) in the Add-Product Unit dropdown, select piece as the unit of product. All purchases/sales get saved in the lower unit (pieces in the above example). So after adding purchases/sales if you edit the conversion details, it will affect the purchases/sales quantity accordingly.


Sub Units:


Selecting relevant Sub Units for a products

For some products not all sub-units will be required. Suppose for example you sell Oranges only in Dozens or only in pieces then it will be useful.

Enable it from Business settings ->Products -> Enable relevant sub-units

Now when adding products select the Unit for the products and it will give option to select multiple applicable sub-units. Selecting the sub-units will allow you to do purchases or sales on this selected sub-units.



On enabling this, a sub unit label will be shown in add/edit products screen.
