#192 Will Multipack functionality be brought back
In ChromisPos version 0_95_3_build_1902-01, there was multipack functionality where
1. Two different products can be created
2. One as Single and the other as a multiple of the singles.
3. Example. Star-Single, and Star-Pack (as 12 x Single)
4. So each product has its stock record.
5. I can split 1 Star-Pack into 12 Star-Single. In this case stock quantity of Star-Pack reduces by 1, and that of Star-Single increases by 12.
6. I saw this functionality among Stock Movement. I played around it but never used it.
7. Its a great functionality that can also solve the issues raised in Ticket 189
No, not the way it worked the UOM etc replace the need to split stock. I have worked lots of systems and none have even needed to do stock splits. All deliveries are converted to single units.

Noted John.
If you have a few lines on the steps to make this possible, you may share with me.
All I want can be summarized as - to be able to OPEN A PACK
I assume that you are refering to this (from your db)

Good day,
Yes you are right. A typical example is the attached file. Where the same product, I sell singles, quarter, half, full but at different prices. So if a full pack contains 12 singles
I can sell full @38, half @20, quarter @11 and singles @4.
I have explored the Recipe and its a great functionality. It even offers more complicated scenario than I expected. What a great thinking in development.
So I can even built a recipe that includes some quantities within packs of several products.
But I have to price my products as singles, and then create the packs as Recipes. I think this will work.
Now I have to keep my stock also in singles, as well as stockdiary quantities will be treated as singles.
Am a happy person thanks to your guidance.
However, if there is a better approach, you can share with me.
question for you
If I buy 4 units (which is quarter pack + 1) how much will I pay?

If I buy 4 units (which is quarter pack + 1) how much will I pay?
Lets assume a full pack is 12 units, then a quarter is 3. * Full pack costs 20 * Half pack cost 11 * Quarter pack costs 6 * Single cost 2.5
then when you buy 4 units (quarter +1), ticket lines will read
1. Quarter item @ 6
2. Unit item @ 2.5
Total amount to be paid will be 8.5
In that case recipes are the way to go forward with this
It is interesting how you could easily restore the database.
I have been trying how I can restore a backup database, but unfortunately it generates a lot of errors. I will try this. However if you can share the process, I would appreciate that.
Am asking for too much already.
are the errors to do with 0900 collation?

There a bug in the stock elements I have just found and currently fixing. I will then make a suggest of how I would approach it
