Detail Guide #

• Different Products have different units. storemate allows you to add different units for products.

Adding Units #

1. Go to Settings -> Units
2. Give the unit name, a short name, and choose if want unit to allow decimals.

Example:
Name: Meter
Shortname: Mtr.
Allow Decimal: Yes.

Allowing decimal allows you to purchase/Sell the product in decimal and vice-versa.

Multiple Units:

• This can be useful if you purchase products in a different unit and sell it in a different unit.
• For example: Purchase in dozens and sell in pieces.
  Or purchase in boxes and sell in pieces.

Steps:

1. Add the lower unit from Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
2. Add the higher unit as per the screenshot:
   • Check “Add as multiple of another unit”

• Provide the conversion Details.
• Use the unit in Add/Edit Product. While adding/editing purchase/ sale you can see the dropdown for units. Select the desired unit and it will change the unit purchase/sales price accordingly.

NOTE: You will not see the main Units (Dozen in this example) in the Add-Product Unit dropdown, select piece as the unit of product. All purchases/sales get saved in the lower unit (pieces in the above example). So after adding purchases/sales if you edit the conversion details, it will affect the purchases/sales quantity accordingly.

Selecting relevant Sub Units for a products #

• For some products not all sub-units will be required. Suppose for example you sell Oranges only in Dozens or only in pieces then it will be useful.
• Enable it from Business settings ->Products -> Enable relevant sub-units
• Now when adding products select the Unit for the products and it will give option to select multiple applicable sub-units. Selecting the sub-units will allow you to do purchases or sales on this selected sub-units.
