Pack qty for procurement

Overview

The pack qty feature is used to indicate that you must buy a product to a supplier with a quantity being a multiple of X.

For instance, if you buy bottles of wine, the supplier may require that you purchase the bottles by box of 6.

In such case, when you will create a purchase order with this product, the system will ask you how many boxes you want to purchase. However, when you will receive the products, this is the unit quantity (the bottle) that will be put in stock by multiple of 6.
