Changing the Base Unit Details of A Stock Item

Changing the base unit information of a stock item (Measurement, Measurement unit and/or Net content) is not allowed in cases where the stock item has selling items (products) and/or ingredients.

To change the base unit information in these cases, you need to perform the following steps:

1. Remove Stock Items from Stock(s)

2. Remove Selling Items from the Stock Item

3. Change the Stock Item’s Base Unit Information

4. Recreate the Links between the Stock Item and Selling Item(s)

5. Add the Stock Item Back to the Stock(s)

If the product is enriched with GS1 data, Net content cannot be changed in the Back Office.

Remove Stock Items from Stock(s)

This step is not mandatory if you are changing only the Net content of the stock item. However, if you are changing any other base unit details (Measurement, Measurement unit) of the stock item, you also need to remove the stock item from any stocks first.

The stocks are listed in the stock item’s Stock information.

The easiest way to remove stock items temporarily from the stock (as well as add them back when the base unit details have been corrected) is to use Stock Tool to Stock Tool to perform stock correction: first correct the quantity of the stock item to 0.

1. Select the Correction tab and select the Stock whose product quantity you want to be corrected.

2. Click the barcode icon and scan the barcode of the product, or enter its name or SKU in the Find Product by Name or SKU field.

   

3. The product name is displayed. Enter the Quantity of the product you wish to correct in the Stock.

   

4. Click Send to create the finished inventory with corrected product quantity.

After the base unit information has been corrected according to the instructions below, correct the quantity back to the original.
