Add product units

Manual: Add Product Units via Bulk Action (OMS/WMS)

With this bulk action, you can add multiple product units at once to existing SKUs within afosto.app (OMS/WMS).

Product units are used when an item is handled in different quantities or packaging formats, for example:

• Per piece and per box.
• Per box and per pallet.
• Purchased per carton, sold per piece.

These settings determine how the item is ordered, received, and processed in the warehouse.

Step 1 Go to the bulk action

Log in to afosto.app.
Open Processes > Bulk actions.
Choose Add product units.
You will now see a spreadsheet input screen.

Step 2 Unique name

• Give your bulk action a unique reference.
• Click Next to continue with the bulk action.

Step 3 Paste your data into the spreadsheet

You can copy and paste your data directly from Excel or Google Sheets.
The following columns can be used (* = required):

What is required?

SKU (required)*

The existing product code in Afosto.
The SKU must exactly match what is in the system.

Quantity (required)*

The number of pieces this unit represents.

Example:
1 box = 12 pieces → Quantity = 12

This means that when you receive 1 box, stock increases by 12 pieces.

Explanation of optional fields

Type
Specify what type of unit it is.
Examples:

• box
• pallet
• tray
• outer packaging

This is mainly important for recognition in purchasing and logistics.

Is order unit
Set this to Yes if you want to use this unit for purchase orders.

Example:
If you purchase an item per box → this unit should be marked as order unit.

Is default order unit
Defines which unit is selected by default when ordering.

Example:
If you always order per box, make the box the default order unit.

Only one default order unit can be active per SKU.

Is receiving unit
Indicates in which unit the item arrives during goods receipt.

Example:
You order per box and receive per box → this unit is the receiving unit.

The system automatically converts this to piece-level stock.

Step 4 Check your input

Always check:

• Does the SKU already exist?
• Is the conversion factor (Quantity) correct?
• Is only one default order unit active?
• Is the receiving unit logically configured?

Note:
An incorrect conversion factor can directly impact your stock.

Step 5 Execute the bulk action

Click Execute.

• The system validates the rows.
• Any errors are shown per row.
• If successful, the product units become active immediately.

From that moment:

• You can place purchase orders in this unit.
• Stock is automatically converted.
• Goods receipt follows the configured unit.

Practical example

In this example:

• 1 box contains 12 pieces.
• Orders are placed per box.
• Goods are received per box.
• Stock is automatically converted to pieces.

Important notes

• Quantity is always the conversion factor to pieces.
• Only one default order unit per SKU.
• Receiving unit determines how goods arrive.
• Changes take effect immediately in OMS/WMS.
