Setting Up A Packaging Group Can Flat

This simple tutorial will guide you through setting up a packaging group for a flat of cans in BarSight Systems. We'll create a packaging group that includes 24 cans (six 4-packs of 473 ml cans) to track your inventory accurately.

• Go to the Packaged Products section in your BarSight account.
• Create a new packaging group and name it something like "24 Can Flat."

 

• Under Items in Group, select the Inventory Item for the cans.
  • Ensure the item type is set as Container (this allows BarSight to track the volume of beer used).
• Set the Quantity to 24 (since the flat contains 24 cans).
• Add Can Lids with a quantity of 24 (these are categorized as Consumable items).
• Add 4-Pack Can Carriers with a quantity of 6 (since the flat contains six 4-packs).
• Optional: Add other items like cardboard flats or labels if you want to track them as part of the group.

• If needed, configure SKU price, taxes, consumer deposit (e.g., bottle deposit), and other defaults in the Product Defaults section.

• Click Save and Back to finalize your packaging group.
• You'll see on screen that your new packaging group will now track the consumption of 11,352 milliliters (473 ml x 24) from each batch when used.

And that’s it! You've successfully set up a packaging group for a flat of cans in BarSight Systems.
