Overview:
The 'Qty Per Vendor Unit' feature in Nineyard allows you to accurately map your SKUs based on how your vendor packages the products and how you sell them. This feature is particularly useful when you need to break down vendor packs into smaller selling units.
Example Scenario:
Eli purchases products in packs of 6 from the vendor but sells them in standardized quantities of 1, 2, 6, 8, and 10 packs.
How to Set them up:
Create the Vendor Item with 'Qty Per Vendor Unit':
Navigate to the "Products" section.
Create a new vendor item.
Apply the 'Qty Per Vendor Unit' to reflect the total number of individual units in each vendor pack.
Example: If your vendor sends a 6-pack, set the 'Qty Per Vendor Unit' to 6.
Note: Use 'Qty Per Vendor Unit' only when your vendor's unit and your unit are of different quantities. If your vendor also calls them 6 units but is just packing them in a 6-pack, use the 'Case Qty' field instead.
Map the SKU Correctly:
Go to the "Product Mapping" section.
Select the SKU you want to update (e.g., B0CTQ3B8JD).
Update the mapping quantities to reflect individual units.
Example: If you sell a 10-pack, map it as 10 single units.
Adjust Existing Items (if needed):
To avoid inventory discrepancies, updating 'Qty Per Vendor Unit' on existing items is not allowed directly. Contact Nineyard support to adjust existing items if necessary.
