Single cigarettes "Loose Draw".

[steenkampc]

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?

Why dont you do a Bill of material?

hi, You need to tell the system that you buy in packets and you sell in singles so that when you load your invoice the stock will balance..

The better way to handle this is to set up a shrink :

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.

Tried to do 1 X 20 X 10 as a shrink, single, box, carton, but system wont allow it!!

As Markus suggested, I sell it as 1 x 20 x 200. A Carton being 200 loose cigaretted.
A Carton of Peter Stuyvesant 30's wil be 1 x 30 x 300.

Going to give this a bash!!

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?

Not sure if ideal, but did a break/build pack in the order, and all seems to be resolved.
