Context

I sell food products. I have a box that has two ketchups, one mustard and one mayoneese. I sell them individually or in the box of 4. When I purchase the product it comes in the box. I can decide to break the box and sell them indivudually or keep them in the box and sell the box with a discount.

Challenge

How do I manage the inventory? I have the problem that these are three different products. If I create a product for one of them, the ketchup for example, and I configure the box, there are two in one box, but there are also the other products, mustard and mayo.

¿Any ideas on how to configure this product(s)?

Thanks Thoufeer. We will test your proposal. Do you know what happens when receiving the product from the vendor? What I mean is that I think that will solve when selling the product, but when I place a purchase order and receive the product, the kits have no effect. Correct?

You have to create box as non stock item. While creating PO, you can select Box and in GRN, components are added as stock. Similarly, if you want to sell the box, once you validate the delivery, component stock will reduce.

With KIT you would be managing inventory of individual products and not of the box.

If your business practice is to manage inventory of Box and of individual products, you would need a BoM to convert a box to individual products 

1. Products : Box, Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise 2. BOM for Ketchup, component is Box, by- products mustard and mayonnaise 3 Sell (SO) - box or individual products. You could also create manufacturing as  replenishment of individual products 4. Buy (PO) - would be box

Hi,

Implement the Kit concept here. For the Box, develop a BOM with components as shown below:

If you decide to purchase a box, its availability will be reflected in the component stock.

You have the option to sell in bulk or individually depending on your needs.
