Hello everyone,

Our lattest and greatest client www.torontohemp.com purchases certain items
by the case... which then are sold in flats (case = 30 flats) and flats are
also broken into individual cubes (flat = 98 cubes)

Using RMS SO 2.0 which way would be the best way to set up these items since
they can only order by the case... and can be sold in cases, flats and cubes?

They also purchase certain items in rolls and then it is sold by the foot
(foil, tubing, etc)

How would be the best way to set up these 2 items types

Dear Marc,

If this is Store only you have several options:

- Use Parent Child for Flats and Cubes
- For the Rolls have a look at the Store and HQ Utility we have that
hansdles rolls and how much is on each roll (Units of Measure).

Dearest Afshin,

Thank you once again for your never ending help!

The parent child thing worked great... 3 generations in RMS... all getting
along :-)

They currently are only running 1 location with RMS...

I think this will work also for the rolls and other items sold in length...
but I will also look at your add in.

Once again Afshin thank you for your help... the timing was perfect!

Hi Marc, I have a similar scenario. What is this parent child thing? I am
working around my buying as case (kit) and breaking upon receiving and
selling as item. It's not perfect. If you or Afshin could comment, that'd
be great.

Hello Fahad,

To my great delight... I created 3 items... A - for the case... B - for the
flat (30 in case) and C - for the cube (98 in a flat)

Each item is a standard item... with its own price and cost and so on... A
and B are set to not be placed on Purchase Order (since only the case can be
purchased from distributor)

Then I made C the child of B with a quantity of 98... and B the child of A
with a quantity of 30...

To start there was a quantity of 2 for item A (the case) and I scratched my
head for a while trying to figure out how this worked... and then I looked
in the user guide and it explained that if I sell... for example item C and
there is not enough on hand... it will "open up" the parent... which it did!

I am so happy... and so is the client... so selling 1 of C resulted in A
going from 2 to 1 and therefore opening into 30 B... and in the same step
reduced B to 29 and made C 97 (after selling the 1 cube)

I hope this explained a bit more Fahad... it seems like it will work great.
