I have a retail shop, with the product that can be sold as a one piece or as a box. I've created two products with corresponding barcodes and configuration.

  • 1 piece has buy - box, sell item. 
  • box has buy - box, sell box.

All seems good, except I need to keep track of 2 different items in fact I ended up with replenishing boxes, and single item always has negative count.


I could sell 1/6 of a box, or sell 6 items for the 6 pieces box. I've tried but it is complicated for cashier, they always just scan due to time pressure and periodically forget to press the number. I need something elegant yet not complicating cashier life.

How to make it properly? Some sort of manufacturing or something like that?

You could explore the functionality "product packages". 

Settings / Inventory / Product / Product packaging.

I believe you might want to change 1 piece route to manufacture rather than buy. Use a BOM to covert a box to individual pieces. In the BOM have the box as component and invidual item as the product. While defining the BOM product qty would be 6 units and component qty 1 unit (for the example above 6 items in a box)

This way you would be only buying the product in boxes while selling as boxes or individual item.
