Greetings,
I have a parent child issue I hope someone can help me with. I have a cigar
store and I would like to open various boxes and create a variety pack. It
will be any of the thousands of cigars we have on hand. These variety packs
will sell for various amounts. I would also be placing some of the same
cigars in different variety packs.
The questions are as follows:
How to I create a variety pack and have the inventory reduced as they are
sold?
Will I have to do this manually?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Use either a kit or an assembly item and add the cigars you want to each
individual item. Both will track inventory when you sell them. With a kit,
when you enter it at POS, the individual items don't show on the receipt.
With assemblies, every item in the assembly is printed on the receipt. Which
one you use is just an individual preference thing. I like to use
assemblies, but I would bet there are people that prefer kits. Search the
help files to learn how to set each up and see what the differences are
between the two. As far as parent/child goes, that is really just a way to
set up item for reordering in a specific way. When the child item runs out
of stock it will open a case of the parent item to refill the childs
quantity. The parent item then gets reordered. I don't use parent/child in
RMS because it's broken. There is no way to keep a smaller amount of the
item in stock because as soon as the child runs out the parent is broken
into the child item, and then reordered right away. There's no way to tell
the system to wait until the child gets down to a certain level before
reordering the parent. For me that means I get way overstocked of the item
when I need to break open a new case to refill the child. I use MPQ to
reorder items that come in a case, but get sold in each's. It's a lot easier
to control your quantity on hand.
