Setting the Units and Vendors
We recommend that you link your inventory sale items or your Warehouse items to a Vendor(s) and set up the Selling Unit and Ordering Unit(s). The reason being that this will allow you the ability to enter your inventory into the Point of Sale the fast way. The fast way which is done in Manage Inventory and then Receive Inventory brings up all the items you have linked to the Vendor you selected, and you can enter all the inventory at once and update all the items at the same time. If you do not link your items to a Vendor and you are tracking inventory, you will then need to go into each item separately in Items & Departments and add in the new Inventory per item.
- Set the Selling Unit from the drop-down. (The selling unit should be the smallest denominator you sell that product for. E.g. Unit, Oz. In your Point of Sale you can sell multiples of an item but you cannot take away from a selling unit)
- Click Create New Units
- Type the name of the existing Vendor or click New.
- Select the existing Ordering Unit or click New to create a new ordering unit. Preview
- Type the Number of Selling Units in an Ordering Unit.
- Click Ok
- Type the Reorder Level
