Product Units

Different Products have different units. SenangUrus Business allows you to add different units for products. 

 Adding Units 

 

 Go to Units 

 Give the unit name, a short name, and choose if want the 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 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 product 

 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. 

 Secondary Units: 

 Secondary units can be added to products. A secondary unit can be used if a particular product’s subunit may vary each time. For example, 1 piece of stone can be 10 kg or 20 kg, or 30 kg. 

 To enable this go to Settings-> Business Settings – > Products. 

 

 On enabling this, a secondary unit label will be shown in add/edit products screen. 

 

 Selecting this product in the purchase/sale/POS screen will also show the secondary unit label. 

 The details of secondary units for products are shown in the product stock history of that product. 

 NOTE : The secondary unit is not considered for calculation. It is only used for the user’s knowledge of tracking the products with varying subunits. 

 NOTE : Available only in version 4.7.8 and above.
