Product Units

Different Products have different units. Futuristic Code POS allows you to add different units of products:

Adding Units

1. - Go to Settings -> Units.
2. - Give the unit name, a short name and choose if want unit to allow decimals.

Example:
Name: Meter
Shortname: Mtr.
Allow Decimal: Yes.
Allowing decimal allows you to purchase/Sell the product in decimal and vice-versa.

Multiple Units:

This can be useful if you purchase products in a different unit and sell it in a different unit.
For example: Purchase in dozens and sell in pieces. Or purchase in boxes and sell in pieces.

Steps
1. - Add the lower unit from Add Unit Screen. For example pieces.
2. - Add the higher unit as per the screenshot:
↣ Check “Add as multiple of other unit”
↣ Provide the conversion Details.

3. - Use the unit in Add/Edit Product. While adding/editing purchase/ sale you can see the dropdown for units. Select the desired unit and it will change the unit purchase/sales price accordingly.



Note - You will not see the main Units (Dozen in this example) in the Add-Product Unit dropdown, select piece as the unit of product. All purchases/sales get saved in the lower unit (pieces in the above example). So after adding purchases/sales if you edit the conversion details, it will affect the purchases/sales quantity accordingly.

Selecting relevant Sub Units for a products - For some products not all sub-units will be required. Suppose for example you sell Oranges only in Dozens or only in pieces then it will be useful.

2. On enabling Product expiry, you can choose either “Add Item Expiry” or “Add manufacturing date & Expiry Period”

Based on the manufacturing date and expiry period it will auto-calculate the expiry date. And this expiry date can be edited. You will have to add expiry period for the product in “Add or Edit Product” screen. And the manufacturing date in “Add Purchase” screen.

4. “Stock Accounting Method” ↣ - In this the old stock should be sold first.

   FIFO (First In First Out) ↣ - In this the old stock should be sold first.
   LIFO (Last In First Out) ↣ - In this the most recent purchase stock should be sold.

For an Example:

1. Purchase 20 pcs of product A on 20 March 2018. Expiry date 10 April 2018
2. Purchase 20 pcs of the same product A on 23 March 2018. Expiry date 8 April 2018
3. Today I sold 22 pcs.
If the “Stock Accounting Method” is FIFO => Then the Product purchased on 20 March 2018 will be deduced with 20 pcs and after that product purchase on 23 March 2018 will be deduced with 2 pcs.
So in stock, we will have product from 23 March 2018 with 18 pcs. If the “Stock Accounting Method” is LIFO => The opposite of the above will happen. NOTE: You must set the required accounting method before selling the item for that accounting method to be used.
