How this looks in TiBook

How to

  1. 1When adding or editing an item, set the primary unit — the unit you use most often on invoices (piece, kg, box, hour).
  2. 2If you also sell or stock in another unit, enable secondary unit.
  3. 3Enter the secondary unit name (for example case or dozen) and the conversion (how many primary units equal one secondary unit).
  4. 4On invoices and stock screens, pick the unit per line. Quantity and stock adjust using the conversion you defined.
  5. 5Save the item. Existing invoices keep the unit they used; edits do not rewrite old bills.

Common patterns

Retail: piece + case (12). Fabric: metre + roll. Services: hour + day. The primary unit should match what you count in stock if Manage stock is on.

Set conversion once on the item — staff should not mental-math cases at billing time.

If you only ever bill in one unit, skip secondary unit to keep the form short.
