How to add a product sold per square meter

Some products arrive as pieces, and one piece is several meters: a marble slab, a glass sheet, a wood panel. They sell per meter; the system tracks each piece by number and calculates its area from its length and width on receipt.

Steps

1
Open products
From inventory open “Products”, then press “Add new product”.
2
Name and category
Type the product name and choose its category. In the example: a marble slab under “Italian marble”.
3
A number per piece, and m²
Choose serial tracking and keep “Automatic”, so each piece gets a number. Then choose “By square meter”; the unit name becomes m² by itself.
4
Attributes without dimensions
Do not add length or width here; the system asks for them with each piece on receipt. Add others, like grade or color.
5
Pricing
Enter the expected cost and the profit percentage. Leave the custom margin empty to rely on the category. Then save.
6
The product in the list
The product appears with its price per meter. On receipt you enter each piece’s dimensions and the area is calculated.

Frequently asked questions

Which products fit this type?

Anything received as pieces of different sizes and sold by area: marble, granite, glass, wood panels, and the like.

Why not add length and width as attributes?

They are entered with each piece on receipt, and the area comes from them. Adding them here duplicates them, and the system warns in red.

Why automatic numbers?

Pieces usually come without factory barcodes, so the system gives each a number to track it until sold.
