5,913 PointsInventory Management with multiple units of sale
Hi, developing a web application for inventory management. App admin will purchase item for inventory from supplier as a single unit lets say a box which contains 50 packages.. but admin may sale that box or a single package by opening that box. Package and box both have different prices, sizes etc. If you were to develop such app how would you handle it. I mean any suggestions for database design. To make it more clear here's an example.. Purchased 1 Carton of Sunsilk Shampoos (25 shampoos per carton) Sold 3 Shampoos.. 23 shampoos in stock. I thought to add a base unit for each product.. The smallest units for selling something.. Now in above case sunsilk gonna sale as bottle as well as whole carton.. So, first a base unit (bottle) will be defined then another unit (box) and base quanitity will be defined for it i.e 1 Box (25 Bottle[base units])
