In certain business operations, products may be sold in packs, allowing customers the option to purchase items individually or as a package (e.g., 6 units, 12 units). Selling in packs updates the inventory automatically for both individual units and packs, providing accurate stock levels. Rewaa enables you to add such products and link them automatically in the inventory section.

Stock and Pricing Details
Initial Cost: The amount paid to the supplier to purchase or manufacture the product. It is essential for accurately calculating net income. The cost is entered per unit (e.g., per piece) in Saudi Riyals, excluding VAT.
⚠️ The initial cost cannot be added or manually edited after saving the product details.
Initial Quantity: The available stock of this product in individual units. You can add more quantities later through purchase orders, which will automatically update the quantity field. When entering the quantity in units, the system will automatically calculate the available stock for each pack based on the number of units per pack.
Example:
If you have 1,000 units of a product (e.g., lemon juice), enter 1,000 in the initial quantity field. The system will automatically calculate how many packs of 12 units and packs of 24 units can be sold.
All fields are interconnected:
Selling in individual units will update the number of available packs accordingly.
Selling packs will deduct from the total unit stock.
Purchase orders will also reflect stock updates for both units and packs.
Retail Price: The selling price per unit for customers.
