Parts - Using Fractional Quantities - Example 1.5 / 1.23 / 4.75

Overview

You would like to sell a part using fractions of a whole part. Example 1.5 - 2.75 - 3.35. 

Getting Started

Most inventory items are sold in quantities of one or more whole units. However, some inventory needs to be sold as fractions of a whole. Some examples you might want to set up as fractional parts.

Labor  (If you are not using Timecards to calculate labor, you can simply add labor as part instead)

Wiring

Conduit 

Network Cabling

Best Practices

Setting up an item to be sold as a fractional item needs to meet the following conditions:

1. The part must be checked for "Is 'Labor' part?"
2. The part cannot have "Additional Stock"
3. The part cannot be a "Component" 
4. The part must be "Tracking Exempt"
5. All "Stock Information" fields must be blank.
   
   

Benefits of Using Fractional Parts

You can now sell specific lengths of cabling, wiring or labor - Using a simplified way of adding labor to an invoice.

• Cables - Sell specific lengths of cabling or wiring at a specific price / cost per foot
• Conduit - Sell specific lengths of conduit at a specific price / cost per foot
• Labor - If you don't want to use timecard calculation for labor rates you can use a labor 'part' instead
