How do I track individual items?

I want to sell a brush for .25c and the same brush 5 for a $1.00. How do I tie both transactions to the same tracking numbers for that one item?

Hello @colorsofglass,

Thank you for your post.

To make sure I am understanding, are you asking to track the same exact item 5 times within a transaction, or are you just trying to track the overall sales for each individual item in your library, for a given period?

Let me know by replying to this thread. I'll keep an eye out for your reply.

I want to sell the same item in two different ways. In a single form( 1 ea) at one set price(.25 cents) and in a second form 5 ea for $1.00. I want to set up a sku bar for each form and have them both feed from the same inventory.

At this point, I am thinking I will need to split the inventory of the same item between the two sku's.

@colorsofglass

You are correct! You would have to create one item for the single 25 cent price, and create a separate item in your library for the "5 pack" item set to $1. You can then assign the different SKUs to each item to differentiate them in your reporting.

The only issue I see here is when adding in the "5 pack" item, our system does not know how to deduct 5 separate items from your inventory. You would have to keep a separate log of this, or just do the calculations manually.

Hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.
