Q&A with Will English
A fellow Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisor posed the following question to Will about her client who has a sewing/fabric business.
Q: I have a POS question. One of our customers has a sewing/fabric business and buy like 10 yards of fabric at a time. Then, cut a yard of fabric off then cut that yard into Quantities and sell them at different prices depending on how the Quantities are cut. Would this need to be set as multi-unit of measure? If so, how would I set this up? I hope you can help.
A: Yes, you would set up multiple units of measure. Your base unit would be the smallest quantity that you sell in... in this example yards. Then you can set up bolts= so many feet. If you need more help call the office at 858 467-0400 to set an appointment.
