Modular Item
A Modular item allows the user / group to purchase box quantities of merchandise and sell out as the box / pack quantity or single unit. For this to be facilitated, both a purchasing item and stocked item must be set up correctly as two separate. Both purchase item and stock count item need to be set up singular items carton sizes will equal one, using the modular quantity the relation ship between the two. The Purchasing item will hold the ordering information as this is the outer box of the item. The stock count item is the individual units within the outer. Please see below example of how to set up an item.

The SOH is worked on the Module Stock Qty, IE:
If the module stock qty is 10 (pack size), it calculates stocking item by multiplying the amount of purchasing items received in by 10.
The SOH actuals will automatically adjust by how the items are sold out, IE:
- Received 8 purchasing items, 8 x 10 = 80 stocked items & 8 purchasing items
- If 1 purchasing item is then sold, = 70 stocked items & 7 purchasing items will be left
- Then if six stocked items are then sold, = 64 stocked items & 6.4 purchasing items will be left
General rules for Modular Items
- You should only order using the purchasing item # (packs)
- Only purchasing items #, are to be received as per the order placed
- Any open packs should be marked clearly with the stocked item # (its barcode)
- To display / sell the pack (purchasing item) on shop floor, ensure a purchasing item # barcode is produced and placed over the existing single item barcode
- The Item codes must be consistent across the group for items which are considered Modular whether they sell the unit item only or sell the pack item only (IE: can not have one store set-up with a pack item as unit item)
