Hi, I’m running a computer shop. Sometimes I buy items as packets which include 3 items. I sell these separately and as packets. Ex. 3 battery pack is 3500, but 1 is 1500 How can I enter this in inventory? ---

You have three options: 1. Create two separate inventory items: a single item and a 3-pack. Stock and sell them as though they were different. 2. Buy 3-packs and use production orders to convert some to singles. This also requires stocking and selling two separate inventory items. See the Guide: [Manager Cloud](https://guides.manager.io/7767). 3. Buy the 3-packs, but enter them as 3 units of a single item. So you only need one inventory item. Then create an inventory kit for situations where you sell the 3-pack. See this Guide: [Manager Cloud](https://guides.manager.io/9629). When you count inventory, you will count each unopened 3-pack as three separate single items. ---
