We have an item grouping configurator that allows us to sell it ANYWAY the salesman has created the contract. We too are in food packaging and we make plastic bottles for food oil, peanut butter, coffee creamers, and non-food items like cat litter and AG chemicals.
Some of our product is packaged for sale at stores that sell two of four items to the customer as a single unit. To us they will want to see 2 case or 4 case in unit of measure code and we take the multiplier in the line with the description to get the correct count for THEM on a BOL Packing list and invoice.
Normally we sell eaches and a whole truck could be 30000 bottles.

In my accounting/invoicing system, clients create product items.
Let's say you sell Apples You can sell single apples apples in a carton (e.g. 25 apples per carton) cartons of apples on a pallet (e.g. 50 cartons per pallets)
I would like to know how YOU handle the Quantity management. Do you create 3 different stock items or do you force people to enter 2 factors at invoice time. Qty and Factor, where factor can be (say) Single, Carton or Pallet.
When you *see* your product profile, do you see 1125 apples, X cartons and Y pallets and Z singles?
I hope I've explained this satisfactorily. If its NF, please forgive me.
