A packaging refers to a quantity defined independently of the product itself. It consists of the following elements:
Quantity: a numerical value, which can be an integer or decimal, allowing for whole or fractional quantities.
Unit: a unit of measurement among these:
Volume: cL, mL, L
Weight: g, kg
Length: cm, m
Piece: piece, to count individual items
Name (optional): an additional label to provide context, such as package, pack, batch, box, bottle, etc.
Examples:
PACKAGE (6 pieces): in this example,
the packaging name is PACKAGE,
the quantity is 6,
and the unit is piece.
This means that a "PACKAGE" is equivalent to 6 pieces (for example, 6 bottles).
BOTTLE (70 cL): in this example,
the packaging name is BOTTLE,
the quantity is 70,
and the unit is cL.
This means that a "BOTTLE" corresponds to 70cL.
⚠️ Important: consistency between product and supplier item
It is essential that the packaging in piece is consistent between the product and the supplier items.
For example, for a product like Coca-Cola in a can:
The product is defined with a storage packaging of 1 piece = 1 can.
The supplier item must be configured according to this principle. If you order packs of 24 cans, the supplier item packaging must be set as follows:
Quantity: 24
Unit: piece
Name: PACK
This means that a pack contains 24 pieces (24 cans), and not "1 piece = 1 pack of 24".
