We buy by the carton and sell by the piece. How is that handled?

Define the conversion once on the product, and MISAll keeps both views consistent: purchasing counts cartons, the till counts singles, and stock on hand is correct in either unit without manual arithmetic.

This is the default situation for anyone buying from a wholesaler and selling retail, and doing it with two separate product records — one "case" and one "single" — is how stock figures quietly drift apart over a few months.

With a conversion defined, a case broken open on the shop floor does not need a manual adjustment. Cost per piece follows from cost per case, which also keeps margin reporting honest at the level you actually sell.

Where it gets awkward is a product whose case size changes between suppliers or shipments. That is a real situation and worth raising with us with your specific case rather than assuming either that it is impossible or that it is automatic.

This sits in inventory management. Licensing is covered on pricing, and the rest of the questions are in Answers.
