How to put units in an item?

[Andres_BP]

I need to sell meat by 150g, 300g, etc., but my stock is accounted in kilos so what I need is that whenever I sell 150g of meat, it is deducted from the kilos that I have in stock. I could create an item for each option: 150g, 300g, 500g, and 1kg, but I still don´t know how to make the inventory work correctly.

Hello, 

to do this, you can use the composite option for your item. First, you create an item called something like “Meat 1kg”. Note that you need to select the option “sold by Weight” and put the price and the cost for 1kg. You activate the option “track stock” and introduce the amount of meat that you have in your inventory.

After doing this, you have two options:

1)      When you sell 150g of meat, on the sale page, you sell 0,150 of “Meat 1kg”

2)      You could create an item called “Meat 150g”, activate the option called “composite item” and put it as an ingredient for the item “Meat 1kg” with the amount of 0,150. This way, any time you sell Meat 150kg, it will be deducted from Meat 1kg.

As a hardware business owner, how can I sell my items by weight (per kilogram) or by truckload? I've noticed that there’s no option to specify units for items. How can I indicate the units (e.g., kilograms) for items that I want to sell based on weight?

Hey^^

As far as I know, Loyverse doesn’t have a feature to specify units. However, I use a workaround in my business where I add the unit as a side note in the item’s name. I also use the description box to take internal notes on how the item should be sold

For example:
