Add packaging

You add a normal packaging as an article for which you set the Packaging indication.

Packaging articles are treated as normal articles: You can track the stock of these articles and they can be purchased and sold. You can record prices and discounts that are used if you use a packaging article in a normal article line.

Note:

Profit assumes that no VAT has to be calculated for a packaging article (the VAT rate group is zero). If you do want to calculate VAT, add the article as an order line in the regular way. You then no longer make use of the link between an article and a packaging article and you make entries for the packaging article manually in the sales order so that Profit also calculates the turnover amount.

To add packaging:

1. Go to: Order Management / Item / Article.
2. Click on: New.

   

3. Complete the fields.
4. Select the Track stock check box if you want to track the stock of the packaging too.
5. Select  Nilin VAT rate group.

   If you do want to calculate VAT on the packaging, you sell the article in the regular way, so the turnover amount (the VAT calculation basis) is calculated.

6. Click on: Next.

   

7. Select  Packagingin Sub-article type.
8. Enter the Sales price.
9. Click repeatedly on: Next. Do this until the Packaging settings panel appears.

   

10. Select the Use in order process check box. With this, a line is added to the Packaging table for every article in the order line to which a packaging article is linked.
11. Click on: Finish.
