Different Products have different units. GST Desk allows you to add different units of products.
Adding Units
- Go to Settings -> Units
- Give the unit name, a short name and choose if want unit to allow decimals.
Example:
Name: Meter
Short name: 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:
- Add the lower unit from Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
- Add the higher unit as per the screenshot:
- Check “Add as multiple of other unit”
-
Provide the conversion Details.
- Use the unit in Add / Edit Product. While adding / editing purchase / sale you can see the drop down 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 drop down, 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.
