Hi All - I am excited about ERPNext and beyond the software the great support from the team.
I am trying to figure out how to set up ERPNext to support our operations and I could do with some guidance on Items configuration.
Buying Module
We normally issue a PO to a vendor for a certain Quantity. Each item as a Packaging Quantity (i.e. we order by pieces but the vendor will group our order into our packaging quantity) Normally this gives a remainder of 0 but sometimes we might have a shipment where only half a box is full.
User Case A: Item 1 has a packaging quantity of 150pcs. We order 900pcs therefore we know that we can expect 6 boxes. 6 boxes should appear on our Purchase Order.
User Case B: Item 1 has a packaging quantity of 150pcs. We order 850pcs therefore we know that we can expect 7 boxes. 7 boxes should appear on our Purchase Order. (i.e. we can order non multiple of the packaging quantity)
Selling Module
Issue a SO to a customer for a certain Quantity. Again as above, we should be able to list on the packing slip Box quantity shipped and individual Pcs quantity. Vendor box quantity and Customer box quantity normally do not change however we should be able to have flexibility in choosing how many pieces we ship to the customer.
Stock Module
On the packing slip for our customer we should then have:
Item 1 (based on SO)
Description (based on SO)
Net Weight (based on SO)
Gross Weight (based on SO)
Number of boxes (based on SO)
Item 2 (based on SO)
Description (based on SO)
Net Weight (based on SO)
Gross Weight (based on SO)
Number of boxes (based on SO)
Total number of pieces being shipped: Quantity Item 1 + Quantity Item 2
Total number of boxes being shipped: Number of boxes Item 1 + Number of boxes Item 2
Total Net weight shipment: Net weight Item 1 + Net weight Item 2
Total gross weight shipment: Gross weight Item 1 + gross weight Item 2
Any thoughts on how to go about this? We are hosted on frappe cloud.
