In setting up units of measure and inventoryI came across the problem of how to enter what I need.
I purchase panels of the following size 2100 x 600 and cut them down to various sizes eg. 300, 400, and 450. The other thing is when I cut the full panel the quantity of the various sizes change so in other words I cut a panel and I require 2 units of 300mm plus the other size units. On the next panel I will not cut any 300mm units and have different quantities of the other sizes. The problems are, the help screen states that the unit of measure to use is the smallest that you will be using. Then all the examples show that the smallest UOM is used when purchasing and the larger amount when selling. It also states not to use units less than one as it may cause inaccuracies with inventory.
When I purchase. It is by each and when I sell it is also by each. Is there any way that this can be made to work.
