Product units

what are "units" and how can they be used for price book discounts,delivery charges, and trade store moqs container type "units" allow you to implement rules in breww with normalisation across container types it's easiest to explain with an example an example let's say that you want to have a minimum order quantity (moq) on your trade store of either 2 x 30l kegs or, 4 x 20l kegs or, 4 x 24 case of cans or, 4 x 24 case of bottles but you would also be happy for someone for buy a mix of different container types that equate to the same approximate total, for example 1 x 30l keg and 2 x 20l keg or, 2 x 20l keg, 1 case of 24 cans and 1 case of 24 bottles essentially, as long as they order 4 suitable "things" (or "units") then you'll be happy to accept the order and some things (30l kegs in this case) count as two things (or "units") by using the concept of "units" in breww, you can relate each container type to a unit then, you can define your rules in terms of units to ensure all container types can be compared to the rule how to configure units the number of units is set on each container type you'll be prompted for this when creating or editing a container type the form fields look like this using the above examples, here's how to configure the container types for 24 cans equating to one unit , you'd fill in the inputs as 24 containers is 1 unit for a 20l keg equating to one unit , you'd fill in the inputs as 1 container is 1 unit for a 30l keg equating to two units , you'd fill in the inputs as 1 container is 2 units units can also be overridden on a per product basis what units can be used for in breww units can be used to define breww trade store docid\ zb4yqc8vsf04tdelxvv2d moqs (within customer specific rules) as part of price books and pricing docid\ iptdxp24eiiaxy0fcukiv to aid in delivery charges docid 7sxlqp8ydngejxfpdelhg and with more uses expected in the future rounding of units when used for moqs in the trade store or for delivery charges, no rounding is required however, when used with price book discount rules, you need to determine how the number of units is rounded if someone buys a non whole number of units in settings > order/invoice settings , you have this option
