When to use packages, packagings or unit of measures ?
|
|
||||||
=======================================================
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For example, you are sellings eggs. In your warehouse, you manage the
|
|
||||||
eggs individually. Lots of eggs are scrapped and you do it egg by egg.
|
|
||||||
The **unit of measure** is ``Unit(s)``.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are selling eggs by the dozen, the selling **unit of measure** is
|
|
||||||
the ``Dozen``. You will set it on your sale order.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The ``cardboard trays`` that contains the dozen of eggs is the **packaging**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When you are selling several trays, you might wrap all the trays into a
|
|
||||||
``box`` or in a ``plastic`` wrapping. It is the **package**.
