Dear Expert(s),
I would like to ask you a question related to above topic:
We use two product codes for an identical product, as a result of different
packaging quantities:
Product code: AA001 (metal spoon 600mm)
Units of measure:
1 piece (EAN11111111) - Base Unit of Measure
1 Carton = 6 pieces (EAN22222222)
1 Pallet = 420 piecs (EAN77777777)
Product code: AA002 (metal spoon 600mm)
Units of measure:
1 Piece (EAN11111111) - Base Unit of Measure - so identical to AA001
1 Carton = 12 pieces (EAN55555555)
1 Pallet = 480 pieces (EAN66666666)
Looking at the future we might have even more variants of packaging
quantities.
However, the base unit of measure will remain 1 piece, the sales are registered as pieces (the final consumer can buy a single piece). But our own client/dealer can order only one carton as a minimum. Towards our client we prefer to talk about one product. On top of all I can imagine that we would like to deliver on piece level to our client in the future (keeping over deliveries as low as possible). I think this last opportunity is difficult/confusing if we use above way of working.
I am wondering if above way of working is the most convenient.
Could you inform me about your suggestions please?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Arthur
