Title: Single cigarettes "Loose Draw".
Post by: steenkampc on December 29, 2016, 08:45:58 PM: Maybe someone out there has a similar situation, and can point me in the right direction.
We sell single cigarettes, for which I have created a stock item etc.
We then take a packet of 20 off the shelf, open it, and sell it as single cigarettes (loose draws).
I now have a negative balance of 200 "Loose Draws", and my stock count for the actual packets of cigarettes is out.
Is there a way around this?

1 x 20 x 200

(Loose draw, pack of 20, carton of 10 x 20's)

Make the supplier quantity then either 20 or 200 if you mainly buy cartons.

A Carton of Peter Stuyvesant 30's wil be 1 x 30 x 300.

Post by: The Thirsty Walrus on April 20, 2017, 11:34:41 AM: Ok, so I changed my "Sales Shrinks" to "1 X 20 X 200".
Also changed the "Supplier Quantity" to 200.
Now when I order cigareets, quantity is still 10, with a price of 1 packet.
How do I resolve this?
