About

The ability to order by FACTOR is particularly useful when ordering and receiving by food ingredients into Sysnet.  This means the setup of inventory items can be simplified.  For example food ingredients can be set up by the Kilo or Litre, then the factors are used to cater for the purchase and selling unit.  This will prevent duplication of products in the database to account for different sizes for example A10 Tin, 1 litre, 500ml etc. where one inventory code will suffice.  In addition, the Supplier code can be linked to each factor size which appears on the Purchase Order report and can be used to receive the item.
