Hello,

There is no option to add products with quantity. Please add/import products. Once added you can add purchase to set the initial stock for the warehouse.

Thank you

Hi. The only commented code I see there is this:

<!-- <div class="form-group">
<label for="aquantity" class="col-sm-4 control-label"><?= lang('quantity') ?></label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="aquantity">
</div>
</div> -->

and unfortunately, when I uncommented it i still dont see the quantity dialog on the add products page.
Sure would be great to have it. Maybe you have some other ideas on how to get it back?

I just want to be able to set quantity on the fly when adding my product, that is all.

Thanks.

Hello,

Instead modify the item code, I would suggest to try work around. You can set the 0 cost and try to add purchase.

Item is not designed for such use case, you can hire any developer to help you modify the item as per your needs.

Thank you

Here is my issue. Lets say I need to enter 1000 new products into this system. These products are not purchases. I simply want to use the "Add Product" page to enter them all in. But because I am unable to supply the quantity, I will be forced to go to the "Add adjustment" page and supply quantity for each one of them 1000 times. Just think about it. You are asking the user to use the add product page, then you are asking the user to re-add the product via purchase just to update its quantity. Its redundant.

I also see you allow exporting and importing of products. Why not let me export all items and update quantity in the csv at least and import it back. But that is not available either. Don't get me wrong, I really love this POS on all other levels but this one simple thing, is missing and its so important. I have so many items to enter right now but I have to do double the job and create puchases for each one of them or create quantity adjustments for each one of them one by one.

**[Max Z](/u/httpmax)** This feature has existed before on Stock Manager Advance, and there is a reason why it was removed, which I might not have the time to explain in details. In fact, I did remove it for my clients on my first use of the system long before the Item Author saw a reason to remove it too.

Trust me, if you're looking for a system that will grow up to a full ERP system with Accounting module especially. Then adding quantities the way you currently want it, won't be ideal for the system.

**[Max Z](/u/httpmax)** Hello,

As I told you before, SMA don't have any feature to support your use case. SMA is general purpose and might not suite various use cases (manufacturing & repairing) but general ones like grocery & clothes shops. SMA not simply update the quantity to the products. It track quantity differently depending on the inventory accounting method of user choice. The feature you need don'e involve the accounting and SMA isn't design for this.

I am not asking any thing, just requesting your check for work around if you can come up with one. Otherwise this item isn't useful for you. I hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Thank you

Ok I understand. But here is my question. If i go to add a sale manually, i can add a product from that page manually and that form allows me to set quantity. So why would you allow to add quantity there but not in the add products page?

Another question, if you are forcing user to add purchase first to supply quantity just so you can have accurate reporting, then why allow adding of adjustments. That lets me alter quantity but does not require me to add a purchase. I only ask because if i decide to hire a programmer, I want to know where the conflict is.

Thanks

Hello,

The quantity on manual product modal is the quantity you selling. System know nothing about the manual products. These are manual records for the sale and nothing else.

The quantity adjustments are need for the stock count and damages, these will change the stock of the products. These will adjust the real quantity (quantity_balance column of sma_purchase_items) and the symbolic representation (sma_products and sma_warehouses_products)

Thank you
