Buy in boxes, sell in pieces
Set up your units and how they convert. Stock stays right either way.
- Units and unit sets
- Conversions between them
- Used on every voucher

How it works
Set up units in three steps
Most businesses do this at the start.
- 1
Add the units
Piece, box, carton, kg, and so on.
- 2
Make a set
Group the units one item uses.
- 3
Say how they convert
Enter how many of the small unit are in the big one.
A sample conversion
Big units, small units
Each row says how many small units make one big unit.

What you buy in.
Smaller unit
What you sell in.
Quantity
How many make one.
| Bigger unit | Smaller unit | Quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Carton | Box | 10 |
| Box | Piece | 12 |

Sample conversions, not a real company.
Common questions
Questions about units
Short answers.
Can I buy in one unit and sell in another?
Yes. Each item has a purchase unit and a sales unit.
Do I have to enter the conversion every time?
No. You set it up once in the conversion table.
What is a unit set?
A group of units that belong together, so an item can use all of them.
