A reviewed list of purchasing units, selling units, sizes and consumption methods.
Where to go
Products → Stock models / Product packs
Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.Follow these steps
- Define a stable SKU and base unit. Use variants for sizes and packs for the number of base units per selling unit.
- Choose the stock policy that matches actual work: direct, recipe, weighted, wastage or non-stock. Use only capabilities exposed and cleared by readiness.
- Recipes consume integer base units and append a version when components change. Subrecipes pin versions; labor and energy estimates are not movements.
- Test scans for loose units, packs and variants, including no inventory row. Variants are catalog data, not inferred from shelf quantity.
How to verify success
One sale and one receipt reconcile to base units without silent rounding.
Limits & things to check
NON_STOCK does not mean free or zero cost. Review open work before changing the stock model of a live SKU.
