  • Each product can have an unlimited number of alternate product-ids. Each consists of : 
    • Suppliers codes, 
    • Inner (product) barcodes, 
    • Outer (box) barcodes. 
  • Each alternate product-id can be of a different unit. For example an alternate product-id that is a product barcode can be one unit of the product. An outer barcode might be a whole box worth. 
  • This is particularly useful for receipting and sales having an outer barcode with a different quantity to the inner barcode. Which allows receipting or selling of product either by the whole box or individual item of the whole box with a single barcode scan.
