2 stock items should be created.
One (the pack or multiple) for use with Purchases.
One (the individual) for Sale
Taking a length of rope as an example:-
So, first should be the full roll of rope at whatever length you might buy it in.
This should be marked on the Stock Levels tab as For PO:
Please note that clicking Forward will reveal pictures accurately if they don’t display properly here.
And should be the one used to order the rope.
The second should be the rope in the smallest increment they sell it in, whether ½ metre or 1 metre, say.
This should be marked as Maintain Stock Level but not For PO:
Flow is as follows:
1/ Order full roll of rope
2/ Check in rope when it arrives.
3/ Manually decrement the full roll by the number ordered. So, if ordered 2 rolls reduce no. in stock of full rolls by 2.
4/ Manually increment no. in stock of partial (e.g. ½ metre rope) stock item by whatever, in this example, is the length of 2 rolls of rope.
5/ Sell the ½ metre stock item to customers. Clearly, if the customer wants 20 metres, you sell 40 of this stock item.
6/ EVE will track sales of this stock item. When this ½ metre stock item reaches low level, reorder the full stock item and repeat the process.
(For profit and COGS sold report, the ½ metre stock item should have a cost price entered of whatever is the fraction of the overall cost that is the ½ metre proportion.)
