Converting Quantities When Buying or Selling
Buy Conversions and Sell Conversions are used as multipliers when you purchase or sell stock items. Buy Conversions account for differences between the way you purchase items and the way you store or sell them.
For example, you might buy soda by the case, but sell it by the can. Or, you might buy wire by the roll, but sell it by the foot. Buy Conversions appear on several reports, but only function when Accounts Payable or Purchase Order is integrated.
Sell Conversions account for differences between the way you store items and the way you sell them. Sell Conversions also appear on several reports, but only function when Inventory is integrated to Sales.
The settings for this feature are located on the Qty / Price Info tab of the IN Stock window.
