The Fixed Qty setting of a contained product
When a practice manager adds a product to a product container, they can select a Fixed Qty setting for its quantity value. If they select Fixed Qty, ezyVet always uses the number entered in the Item Quantity box to decrease the product’s inventory level when invoiced.
If they do not select Fixed Qty, ezyVet uses the information that follows to change the product’s inventory level:
- Item Quantity value × the number of times the product container is an invoice
Callisto Vets buys a medication from a product supplier. The medication is in bottles. Each bottle contains 30 pills. It is necessary for Callisto Vets to invoice a full bottle of the medication for each time that the medication is in an invoice.
The practice manager configures a product container for the medication. Then, they configure a product for the number of pills sold each time and add it to the product container. When the practice manager adds the product, they:
- Enter 30 in the Item Quantity box
- Clear the Fixed Qty checkbox
A staff member uses the product container to invoice two bottles of the medication for a client. As a result, ezyVet automatically decreases the inventory level of the product by a value of 60.
