We have an item grouping configurator that allows us to sell it ANYWAY the salesman has created the contract. We too are in food packaging and we make plastic bottles for food oil, peanut butter, coffee creamers, and non-food items like cat litter and AG chemicals.
Some of our product is packaged for sale at stores that sell two of four items to the customer as a single unit. To us they will want to see 2 case or 4 case in unit of measure code and we take the multiplier in the line with the description to get the correct count for THEM on a BOL Packing list and invoice. Normally we sell eaches and a whole truck could be 30000 bottles.
