We recently retained a new vendor. The products ranges from meat per pound to produce and per count like tongue and oxtail. Some of the items have limited availability and others are per pound. It is my understanding that the number available option only works properly when we disable splits. however, if we disable splits then we cannot change unique weight items like steaks and roasts. Currently what we are doing is having our vendor fill out a unique weights spread sheet and then Leah and I are going back in and entering each unique weight and then changing the case fill size (not in the database) so that the program doesn't keep wanting to fill orders by pound. We are hoping for guidance or changes in these two areas.
1.) a way that we can order per pound without having the program automatically assigning only whole pounds to orders (but only for this source)
2.) a way that we can use num available without disabling splits.
