Alternate Count Units

If beverages are most often delivered, stored and counted by the bottle, then BTL would be selected as the product's primary inventory unit. However, a location may also want to count whole cases at the time of inventory. The location could set up CASE (CS) as an alternate unit, with a conversion factor of 0.083333 – in other words, 1/12 case is one bottle. If the total physical count was two cases plus six bottles, the total inventory quantity would be 30 bottles; the application uses the conversion factors to convert counts in alternate units, and the final counts are saved and displayed in the primary inventory unit.
