Two key units of Sage X3 ERP weighing plugin management

Inventory units are the unit of measurement by which inventory is weighed and invoiced, while actual weight units are the unit of measurement by which inventory is sold and shipped. In other words, one unit of the product is used for inventory management and the other unit, the weight unit is usually used to measure the value of the product. Therefore, the actual weighing function is considered part of the inventory function. But its impact also extends to other modules of Sage X3 ERP .

The Importance of Sage X3 ERP Weighing Plug-in Management
The actual weighing plug-in is essential for businesses such as:
Product billing
Tax application
Inventory confirmation
Inventory Valuation
Companies without adequate tools to address these challenges will suffer from their competitiveness, customer satisfaction, and overall profitability.
In these industries, purchases are made in batches and the weight of the final product varies, so obtaining weight management becomes an essential requirement to manage business processes such as inventory control, costing, tax reduction and accurate invoicing.
Customers can meet the challenge by introducing a weighing plug-in tracking system in Sage X3 ERP that has proven successful with many industry leaders. It allows you to charge customers based on exact weight, rather than a raw estimate based on average weight. Unit weight may decrease between the time an item is purchased and the time it is available due to processing or environmental factors. For example, during storage, meat products will shrink after evaporation over time. Using the Catch Weight Sage X3 ERP plug-in, the food and processing manufacturing industries can achieve granular management in their value chain.
