Executive: Yes please.
Mrs Chopra: Suppose i need to Buy these skirts in different sizes and colors then shall i have to purchase it multiple times ?
Executive: Ok i got your concern, no you have to buy only once and you can save time, in garment software there is an option of "Multi Quantity Editor" which enables you to select quantity for different sizes, please see the purchase screen for details.
In Purchase Invoice first we select the Vendor, then we select our product which is "Skirt" and then as you press enter key a new screen come up which enables you to select qty for different sizes of the product.

Executive: Yes madam, this is a very helpful feature. Now you select the color of the product and save & close the invoice as shown below.
Executive: Later if you wish to reopen the saved Purchase invoice for reference it will look like this.
Mrs Chopra: Ok, three different sizes are there. Alright please proceed.
Executive: Now we move on to Create a promotion for this product before we Sale it. For this we need to click on MASTER --> OTHERS --> PROMOTIONS
Mrs Chopra: Ok this window has different options to select the promotion you wish to run.
Let me just fill it, ok i will
- Keep promotion on sales
- Location will be Head Office
- Apply on Product, Product is Skirt
- Qualifying Quantity is 2
- Promotion is on Free Qty and Free Qty is 1
"Buy 2 Get 1 Free"
Executive: Yes you are right and you have not added date,time, and lot details which mean promotion is applicable all the times on all Lots available for the product. So you can schedule it for specific Date & Time and for selective Lot no as well.
Mrs Chopra: Alright.
Executive: Ok we save it and move on to Sales Invoice, where in we sale the product. Here we click on customer, create a new customer if its the first visit else select his name from the existing ones.
Then we select product which customer wants (selecting) "Skirt", click enter key which gradually take us to Qty where we type 2 and as we click enter key the free qty column will show 1 as free qty which is as per the promotion we set buy 2 get 1 free. and 3 qty will be taken out from stock and entries will be maintained.
