Containers and conversion factor: when the quantity goes off

The supplier counts in cases; your books count in bottles. If that isn't described, two cases go to iiko instead of forty-eight bottles, and your stock balance drifts.

There are two ways to handle it, and you don't have to choose between them — the right one is decided by how the product is set up in your iiko.

Method one: an iiko container#

If the product has containers set up in iiko — "case of 24," "box of 10 kg" — pick the product with the matching container on the invoice line. The service takes it from there:

• the quantity gets multiplied by the container's size;
• the price gets divided by the same number;
• the container itself goes to iiko.

This is the preferred path: iiko knows about this container and shows it on the document.

Method two: conversion factor#

If there's no container in iiko, the line has a Factor field. It's a multiplier: the invoice quantity gets multiplied by it.

A case of 24 bottles is a factor of 24. A 25 kg bag, tracked in kilograms, is 25.

Which one to use#

How to check yourself before sending#

Below the table, the service shows exactly what will go to iiko for each line, container and factor included. Watch that number, not the quantity on the invoice.

Done. What's next?#

If the quantity still went off, there's a step-by-step breakdown in a separate article.
