Requirement: Usually we sell a set of garments, say Lehenga Set, which includes Lehenga + Blouse + Stole.

If a customer wants only the blouse then how to sell that? The price of the individual garment is defined in advance.

If inventory for three products is created then 3 separate barcode for each one also needs to be created.

• This will double up the inventory and reports.
• Also the sale will take time as the operator has to scan three barcodes.

How to do this more effectively & efficiently?

Solution:

First of all an efficient Point of Sale demands minimum or zero decision requirement from the POS operator. This means the POS operator should only scan products, print receipt at the end and receive payment against the receipt.

However, if your business demands to disassemble a set and then sell, these steps will help to do that efficiently:

1. While bar coding the set, mark the price of  each component in a matrix field like (L+B+S 1500+750+900) so that the individual prices are known to the sales person.
2. Make three separate products. For example Loose Lehanga , Loose Blouse and Loose Stole.
3. Set “Ask Rate = Yes” for these products (skip this if you plan to use barcode at store).
4. When customer wants an individual item, then disassemble the set.
5. This needs to be supported by a stock journal entry where you will produce three LOOSE pcs and consume 1 set. Print barcode from the stock journal entry.
6. Now scan the selected item at the sale counter and receive payment.
7. Finally the inventory will show the following

• Lehenga Set = Less 1  set
• Loose Lehenga = Add 1 pcs
• Loose Blouse = Add 1 pcs  ( ZERO if the loose blouse is sold)
• Loose Stole = Add 1  Pcs
