Single unit and double unit can be applied on the product as per business requirement.
The unit type is a very crucial part of the product management system, let's try to understand the unit type system!
In this system, we have 2 types of unit system, 1st "Single Unit" and 2nd "Double Unit".
What is "Single Unit" or "Double Unit"? How it works?
Single Unit Type
When you select Unit Type "Single Unit" then you should select Unit also from the Unit field.
In our system, it means You purchase this product in a Unit and sale this product in the same unit.
Double Unit Type
When you select Unit Type "Double Unit" then you see an additional 3 fields, Purchase Unit, Sale Unit, and Conversion rate respectively.
Select Purchase Unit from the "Purchase Unit" field, Select Sale Unit from the "Sale Unit" field, and enter conversion rate to convert purchase unit to sale unit.
Lets try to understand double unit type with a example
Let's assume you select "Purchase Unit" as "Box", and "Single Unit" as "PCS" It means you purchased this product Box and you want to sell "PCS"
For example:if a box contains 12 pens, and you want to convert each pen as a "Single Unit" then you should convertion rate "12" 12/12=1, Now Single pen you can sale as "Single Unit"
if you convert a Box Pen into 6 "Pare" that means 2 pen = 1 pare then you should enter convertion rate 6, A box pen = 12, convertion rate 6, 12/6=2, now you can sale 1 pare = 2 pen as a Sinle Unit.
NB: As you purchased a box of pens, you enter the purchase price of the entire box of pens in the Purchase Price field, not just the purchase price of one pen.
If you have a Warranty Or Gurantee of a product then you should enter amount Warranty and Warranty Type like Day,Month or Year. If you select Warranty 6 month that means 6 months will be counted from when the product is sold. This will work for the rest and the guarantee.
Warranty Gurantee Show in invoice.
