In this section, you'll learn how to configure items that are purchased by the case from a vendor. inAtomic automatically determines the number of cases to order when stock levels are low, ensuring alignment with vendor purchasing requirements.
Example: If a product is sold individually but purchased from the vendor in cases of 12, and your current stock drops to 10 units, inAtomic will calculate that you need at least one full case (12 units) to replenish stock—ensuring the order meets the vendor’s case quantity requirement.
There are three steps involved in setting up product as Case:
Enable the "Ordered by Case" toggle in Product > Items tab. (When the "Ordered by Case" toggle is enabled for an item, it is automatically added to the Cases tab.)
2. Enter Case UPC and Case Quantity
The Case UPC is the barcode printed on the case pack, allowing the vendor to easily identify the product in their system when a purchase order is received. (This information is part of the Purchase Order)
The Case Quantity refers to the total number of individual units contained within a single case pack.
