stock item shrink

[gns002]

Please help me understand the following

My Client has a Fruit and Veg store

He Only buy Potatoes in 10 Kg Bags and

Sell them in 10kg bags

Then shrink the package by repacking some of the load to 7kgs and 5kgs ,3kgs and also 1kg
How do I record the items and sell them

I suppose you mean he buy in 10kg bags, then sells in 10kg, 7kg, 3kg etc?

This is a simple Bill of Material.

Item1 = Potatoes 10kg - No bill-of-material
Item2 = Potatoes 7kg - bill-of-material "At time of sale" with Item1 Potatoes 10kg - Qty = 0.7 (7/10)
           Meaning every time a 7kg is sold it deducts 0.7 of the stock off Item1.
Item3 = Potatoes 3kg - bill-of-material "At time of sale" with Item1 Potatoes 10kg - Qty = 0.3 (3/10)
           Meaning every time a 3kg is sold it deducts 0.3 of the stock off Item1.


OR -

Still 3 Items, but Item1 is set up as bag of Potato per kg. Supplier quantity is 1, so when he GRV's, he enters 10 as the quantity, meaning he bought 1 bag. if he buys 50 bags of 10kg, it is 500kg. This is better in my opinion as sometimes the market may only have 7kg bags!
Item2 & Item3 quantities are then set up as whole eg. 7kg from 10kg bag = 7 ....


Makes sense?

ps. Good questions - thanks!

Sorry, 1 more thing - the reason I chose to use bill-of-material as he would most likely also sell as loose or in other prepack sizes like 2kg, 1.5kg etc
