Break Apart allows you to sell individual components of a products you purchase in bulk. For example, you purchase a case of Libby 8oz glasses. You can easily sell these by the case. But if the occasion arises, you could also sell them by the single glass.
This is done by creating a separate inventory item for the single glass, Then you "break apart" a case into an individual glass count thereby reducing the number of full cases and increasing the number of single glasses.
CREATE INVENTORY
Add the Vendor (case) product to the Inventory Center.
Add the Break Apart sizes of that inventory item as separate inventory. For example, a full case of 24 is one inventory item, a six pack is another inventory item, and a single can or bottle is a third inventory item.
Calculate the cost and enter it in the Last Cost field. Enter your selling price of the item. Repeat for each sub unit of the case.
When defining the break apart inventory items, set the vendor as "0-Break Apart" so that Vendor Sales and other reports are more readable. The case inventory item should have the true vendor assigned to it. |
ASSIGN THE BREAK APART SIZES
With the Break Apart tab of Stock Manager, you can designate how the case will be subdivided. For example a case of 24 could be broken down into 4 six packs or into 24 single cans. And a six pack can be broken down to 6 single cans..
