Catch Weight Pricing on Sales Quotes and Orders

Training
Full training library

Whenever products utilize catch weight or variable pricing, users can create sales quotes/orders based on the average/nominal quantity and adjust the price quantity based on the actual weight (or other variable unit setup). This process allows you to sell things like a case of meat with pricing based on how many pounds (or kg) it weighs. Upon creation of the order (or quote), the default pricing will be based off of the nominal weight (or other variable price type) to be updated once the actual price quantity is entered.

  3. Create Invoice when shipped to customer.

After creating the invoice, Acctivate will remove however many units were sold to the customer at the price per variable unit. In this example, 3 cases of meat and 2 rolls of paper are removed from stock. The weight and length do not effect the removal of inventory quantities.
