A quick and easy task! In order to do this, you must edit the Product directly. You can access this page in many different ways, with the two most common options outlined below.
OPTION #1:
Go to Products > View All Products on the left side of the screen.
Then use the search bar to find and select the product and then click Edit Product.
OPTION #2:
From within Product > New Vendor Item Review, click on the name of the Product hyperlinked in blue.
Now you have the Product's page open and ready to edit:
You can find the “count by” on the Edit Product page towards the bottom, under the header “How do you want to count this product?”.
Click on the drop-down menu to select the unit of measure you would like to count by.
Once you select the new unit of measure you want to count by, the system will highlight a field on the vendor item (the line item as it is purchased from your vendor) asking how many units of measure are in the packaging on the invoice.
In this example, the beer’s count by unit of measure changed from case to can. Because this product is invoiced by the case (24 x 12oz cans), the system will ask “How Many Cans?”.
Enter 24 and click Save.
If there are multiple Vendor Items associated with this Product, you will have to enter a conversion amount for each one.
