Different products require different units for purchasing and selling. BillBook allows you to add custom units, use multiple units, and even track secondary units for accurate inventory management. 📦📊

➕ Adding Product Units #

✅ Go to → Products → Units
✅ Click “Add New Unit”
✅ Fill in the unit details:

• Unit Name (e.g., Meter)
• Short Name (e.g., Mtr)
• Allow Decimal (Yes/No)

✅ Click “Save” 💾

💡 Allowing decimals enables you to sell/purchase in fractional values (e.g., 1.5 kg of rice).

🔄 Using Multiple Units #

Sometimes, products are purchased in one unit but sold in another.

📌 Example: #

• 🛒 Purchased in: Dozen (12 pieces)
• 🏷️ Sold in: Pieces

📝 Steps to Set Up Multiple Units: #

✅ Step 1: Add the smaller unit first (e.g., Pieces)
✅ Step 2: Add the larger unit (e.g., Dozen)
✅ Step 3: Check “Add as multiple of another unit”
✅ Step 4: Enter the conversion details (e.g., 1 Dozen = 12 Pieces)
✅ Step 5: Use the unit when adding/editing products 📋

📌 Important Note:

• The primary unit (e.g., Dozen) will not appear in the Add Product dropdown.
• All purchases & sales are stored in the smallest unit (e.g., Pieces).
• If conversion details are modified, existing purchases/sales quantities will be updated accordingly.

📍 Selecting Relevant Sub-Units for a Product #

Not all products require every available unit. For example:

• 🍊 Oranges may be sold only in Dozens or Pieces.
• 🏗️ Cement bags may be sold only in Kilograms or Tons.

📝 Steps to Enable Sub-Units: #

✅ Go to → Business Settings → Products
✅ Enable “Relevant Sub-Units” ✅
✅ Now, when adding a product, select the applicable sub-units.

💡 This ensures only the selected sub-units are available for purchases & sales!

🔄 Using Secondary Units for Products #

Secondary units help track products where the sub-unit varies each time.

📌 Example:

• 🏗️ Stone Blocks – Each block may weigh 10kg, 20kg, or 30kg.
• 📦 Fabric Rolls – Each roll may have a different length.

📝 Steps to Enable Secondary Units: #

✅ Go to → Settings → Business Settings → Products
✅ Enable “Secondary Units” ✅

🔹 When adding/editing a product, a secondary unit field appears.
🔹 This unit appears in Purchase/Sale/POS screens for reference.
🔹 Stock history tracks secondary unit values, but it’s not included in calculations.

📌 Important Note: Secondary units are for tracking only and do not affect inventory calculations.
