How to add a product sold per linear meter

Rolls, cables, and fabric arrive as rolls and sell or get consumed by the meter. Each roll is a lot with its length; the system consumes the oldest first, and part of a roll can be sold.

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: glossy PPF roll under “Car protection”.
3
No tracking, per linear meter
Keep tracking “No tracking (quantity only)” and choose “By linear meter”; the unit name becomes meter. On receipt you enter each roll’s length.
4
Pricing
Enter the expected cost and the profit percentage. Leave the custom margin empty to rely on the category. Then save.
5
The product in the list
The product appears with its price per meter. Sales and services consume it by the meter, oldest roll first.

Frequently asked questions

Why no tracking instead of a number per roll?

A serial-tracked product with a length or area unit sells as whole pieces only; cutting is rejected. A roll exists to be cut, so it stays untracked, and each roll is still a lot with its length.

Can one service use two rolls?

Yes. If the old roll has less than the service needs, the rest comes from the next roll.

How to add a service without inventory

A fixed-price service: item type service, so tracking and unit lock, then a fixed-amount price.
