When purchasing an item from multiple vendors they each have different carton quantities for reordering. Where would we put the different carton quantities which can be different by item.

I’d expect this to be handled w/ multiple item records but I understand that may not desire-able since it’s the same item and you probably want to keep sales history together.

That's one option. We have sketched out a custom record Item/Vendor/Carton Qty which we can attach to the Item. Then have a clientscript to source the value to a PO line. Seems an overkill.

The client script to the PO line is the only way I see resolving this also.

Can you not also use UOM for this? I'm assuming you buy in the different carton quantities and then repackage so sell as an EA or as your own carton qty…it means being very specific on PO’s to pick the right unit but you can probably align them with vendor by name/code if needed. Maybe more effort than it's worth?

I did consider UOM but this particular client doesn’t generally use cartons and hasn’t used them at all. I still have the issue of linking it by Vendor
