Odd Multiple Units behavior

edited Nov 26, 2019 8:43AM in Accounting / ERP

We have a group of inventory items that we purchase and stock as single items but we sell them only in pairs. We have set up the multiple units function to handle this. The base unit = 1 and it is named "single". There is only one other unit called "pair" and it's conversion is of course "2".

At the item level we have:

Purchase = Single
Stock = Single
Sales = Pair

Everything seems to work okay except for one thing - When creating a purchase order from a sales order via the "Special Order" link on the sales order, the PO comes up with units="pairs" and qty=1. I would expect the PO to show units="single" and qty=2 (or some factor of two based on how many the was on the sales order).

Howdy, Stranger!
