Inventory > Creating Inventory Cases

Cases can be used when you order items by the case load or by bulk, but sell by the individual unit. Just order the case item, and sell only the unit item. RetailEdge will automatically split the cases and adjust your inventory for the unit item.

If the quantity of the unit item is 0 when you sell it, RetailEdge will automatically decrement the inventory quantity of the case item and split the case into the appropriate number of unit items and adjust the inventory quantity appropriately. RetailEdge inventory will support multiple inventory case levels (i.e, case, six pack, bottle, etc.).

To setup an inventory case:

1.	Create an inventory item for the case item.

2.	Create an inventory item for the unit item.

3.	Click on the Case Tab.

4.	Check the Can this item come from a case quantity (i.e., a broken case) checkbox.

5.	Press the Add button and find the case inventory item you created.

6.	Enter the Case Quantity for the item (the number of unit items that make up the case item).
