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):

[object Object]

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

[object Object]

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.
