I think the answer depends on whether or not your client needs to know the number of apples on hand at any given time. If not, I'd recommend having separate lines items for singles, cartons, and pallets. (This is what we do in our publishing company, where the commodity is non-perishable books, not apples.) But if the quantity on hand is important, then you need to go the two factor route.
Just my two cents' worth.

Let's say you sell Apples You can sell single apples apples in a carton (e.g. 25 apples per carton) cartons of apples on a pallet (e.g. 50 cartons per pallets) I would like to know how YOU handle the Quantity management. Do you create 3 different stock items or do you force people to enter 2 factors at invoice time. Qty and Factor, where factor can be (say) Single, Carton or Pallet. When you *see* your product profile, do you see 1125 apples, X cartons and Y pallets and Z singles? I hope I've explained this satisfactorily. If its NF, please forgive me. -- Kind regards, Sytze de Boer --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/01aa01d25b3a$d3960220$7ac20660$@PioneerDrama.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
