Feature Overview
In myBillBook, you can easily add or edit units of measurement for products to streamline inventory management and billing. Units help define the quantity of items (e.g., kilograms, liters, pieces) for invoices and stock tracking. While primary units are fixed after usage in invoices or stock adjustments, you can add alternate units for flexibility.
This feature helps businesses:
Maintain accurate inventory records.
Handle items sold or purchased in multiple units (e.g., box to pieces).
Ensure precise billing and stock management
Business Use Cases
Retail Stores: Manage items sold in boxes and pieces (e.g., 1 Box of chocolates = 12 units).
Wholesale Traders: Track inventory in bulk units like cartons and convert them to individual units.
Manufacturers: Use alternate units for raw materials (e.g., 1 Bag = 50 Kg).
Grocery Stores: Handle items sold by weight (e.g., kilograms and grams)
