Item Price - Packing Unit

ERPNext Buying
1

I can’t understand the Packing Unit field described here:
https://docs.erpnext.com/docs/user/manual/en/stock/item-price#21-packing-unit

Could someone kindly explain me another use-case than the one provided in the doc ? :slight_smile:

My understanding was that if my default UOM is Kg, and I buy bags of 25Kg, I could set 25 in the Packing Unit, so I would not have to define new UOM and conversion, since it is only a simple multiplier of Kg.

But as soon as I set a value in Packing Unit, and I try to create a PO, no rate is fetched from this price list.

Hi @guimorin
Effect is on stock transaction and not in PO,
SETUP in price list
UOM : kg
Packing Unit: 25
PO QTY =1
Received qty =1
Transaction qty = 25, your stock should increase by 25 kg.
Did not tried :frowning: but you can give a po receipt trx and see result.
Let me know result…

This is what i too understood from the documentation. But it is absurd. This configuration is already possible UoM conversions. Why would someone what to jackup the transaction qty in item price list.

I was thinking that this feature is used to automatically apply price based on the quantity feild in the transaction.
Say I enter qty 25, the price should be fetched where the qty is 25. Is there any possible solution for this?

I cant find the Minimum Qty field in v14. I doubt it was there in v13 also.
