Every item has a base unit — the smallest unit you count it in, such as pcs, kg or ltr. Many shops also buy or sell in a larger unit, like a box or a dozen. Yojika lets you bill in either, while keeping stock in the base unit.
Set the base unit
When you add or edit an item, pick the Unit from the list. Common Indian retail units are included to begin with: pcs, kg, g, ltr, ml, box, dozen, packet, bag, bundle, strip, mtr, set, pair, carton, case, roll and tin. Any unit you were already using — including one that came in with a CSV import — is added to the list too, so nothing you typed is lost.
Manage your units
The list is yours to edit. Open Items and choose the Units tab:
- Add a unit by typing its name and clicking Add.
- Rename one with the pencil. Every item using it is updated to match. Bills and orders you already made keep the wording they were printed with.
- Remove one with the bin. A unit still used by an item, a bill or an order cannot be removed — clear it from those first.
Units are per device: they are not shared with your other devices, even with Cloud Sync switched on.
Add a secondary (larger) unit
- Open the item.
- Choose a Secondary unit (optional) — for example box.
- In Conversion, enter how many base units make one secondary unit. The helper text shows exactly what to fill in, for example 1 box = ? pcs. If a box holds 12 pieces, enter 12.
- Save.
Now you can bill this item in either pcs or box, and Yojika converts automatically. Your stock and reports always stay in the base unit.
Rules to remember
- The secondary unit must be different from the base unit.
- A secondary unit needs a conversion greater than zero — Yojika reminds you if it is missing.
You can also enter stock in the secondary unit when you adjust stock: pick the unit next to the quantity, and Yojika converts it back to the base unit for you.
