Inventory Counts on single item for multiple sales uses.

My current issue is with the way the inventory system I've been given charge of has been mismanaged and I need to re-work it all.
I haven't had much time with it but need a question answered before I dive in.

I deal with blank customized apparel. I need inventory on the blank apparel. But I need to be able to scan in that blank item, have the inventory adjusted on it, but also be able to adjust the category of the item to reflect the price of "A", "B", or "C" etc. depending on what it's being customized with.

With this, you should have a single inventory item as the blank. From there, it depends on if you are creating the customisation before it hits your shelf, or right when the customer is purchasing it.

 

If you are customizing it yourself before it hits the shelf, then you should create an assembly item for each type of customisation. Then when you customize it, you build the assembly, which takes the ingredient items out of stock and creates one new quantity of the assembly item.

 

If you are creating the item after the customer pays for it, then you should create group items for each type of customisation. This takes the stock out when the customer pays, but gives them a special price for getting the item and the customisation together.

 

Thanks!
