How to sell in units and packs
Sell the same item loose and by the pack: dozen, box, carton or bori. Each pack gets its own rate and barcode, stock is always counted in the base unit, and scanning a carton barcode at the counter puts the carton on the bill.
Updated
Many shops sell one item in more than one way. A soap sells as a single piece and as a carton of 120; a drink sells as a bottle and as a box of 24. In Nafaa the product keeps one base unit (for example pcs), and each pack is a named multiple of it with its own price.
Stock is always counted in the base unit. When you sell one carton of 24, stock goes down by 24 pieces. When you buy 4 cartons, stock goes up by the right number of pieces.
You can add packs in two places: inside the product editor on the Qeemat step, or on the Multi-units page (Inventory → Multi-units), which is faster for many products.
Add a pack to a product
Step 1: Open Multi-units
In the sidebar under Inventory, open Multi-units. Every product is listed with one-tap buttons such as + Dozen and + Box.
Step 2: Add the pack
Tap a preset, or press + Pack to write your own. Enter the Naam (for example Carton) and how many base units it holds.
Step 3: Set rate and cost
Enter the pack’s Bechne ki qeemat (selling price) and cost. If the rate is left empty, Nafaa uses the loose rate times the quantity. A warning shows if the pack sells below cost.
Step 4: Add the pack barcode
Scan the barcode printed on the carton or box into Barcode, or let Nafaa make one with Barcode banayein. Scanning it at the counter adds the pack, not a single piece.
Step 5: Choose the default
Turn on POS par pehle ye if this pack should open first when the product is picked at the counter, for example cartons in a wholesale shop.
Step 6: Save
Press Pack jorein (add pack). It is available on the POS and in purchases right away.

Questions
Does selling a pack change stock correctly?
Yes. Stock is kept in the base unit, so one carton of 24 reduces stock by 24 pieces.
Can I buy in cartons and sell loose?
Yes. Choose the carton unit on the purchase line. Stock goes up in pieces and the cost per piece is worked out from the carton price.
