RE: Inventory : different packaging for same item
Yes indeed they would, in particular you want to use assemblies.
e.g. You buy oil in 100 litre drums - part code 100L
Now you create a code for a 1 litre bottle as an assembly. The assembly contains
0.01 x 100L
1 x BOTTLE
now when you sell a bottle, the stock of the components is reduced - there is never any stock for the assembly item itself. Now when you look as usage of 100L it is inclusive of all assembly item sales. You can also use the sales analysis to show the sales of the 1 litre bottles of oil.
The only real snag is that when you stock check you need to count the bottles as bottle stock and the l litre oil as 100L x 0.01
