These tables might help with the task of assigning the various units associated with each product. Although a bit tedious to enter, these are critical to the calculation of correct quantities of product displayed on Blend Tickets, Delivery Tickets, and ultimately on the customer Invoice.
The Ratio Wizard provided when adding or editing a product helps with some of the more difficult ratios (often the Rate to Blend and Blend to Inventory ratios) that are important to successfully calculate product quantities. Selecting OK saves the calculated ratios in the Product information.
