Configure units, codes and traceability so that each scan identifies the right item and quantity.
Cases and packaging
A case is packaging, not a new product size or colour.
In Codes and packaging, define its exact quantity, such as 12 pieces, then link its code if needed. Do not confuse it with the single-item barcode.
Verify the identified packaging and quantity before use. Creating the case in the catalogue does not receive 12 pieces into stock.
Weight sales and scales
A whole 1 L bottle is still sold as a piece. A weighed product needs a matching unit and price, such as per kilogram.
In record actions → Price and management → Grocery profile, verify the unit, sale mode and PLU item code. Configure the label format in Admin → Retail scanner → Weight and price nomenclatures.
Test a known label: item, weight and price must match. Price-only labels are currently rejected: weight is never guessed. Physical scales require separate qualification.
Lots and dates
A lot identifies a received or produced batch. An expiry date belongs to that lot, not every future sale of the product.
When enabled and permitted, configure tracking in Grocery profile, then enter lots and dates in the appropriate receipt workflow.
Verify actual quantities and dates. Do not create a new product record for each delivery. Recalls and losses use dedicated workflows, not product archiving.
