+====== Handling Bulk Materials in System Five ======
+===== In this training guide you will learn how to =====
+  * Create a list of products that will be purchased in bulk, and sold in portions of that bulk qty.
+  * Create an inventory item for each of the Bulk Products, that will be for Receiving and Stock Control only
+  * Create the Selling Items for the bulk product that will be sold in fractional amounts
+  * Edit the Selling Items and Create the Kits and Enter the Percentages of the Bulk Items.
+  * Check the List Pricing of the Selling Items
+  * Sell the items
+Create an inventory item for the Bulk Product, this will be for Receiving and Stock Control only Note the Important Numbers
+  * The Item or Part Number is noted as BULK for clarity
+  * The Cost is Per Base Unit of Measure in this case Cubic Meters
+  * The List or RRP is for ONE cubic meter
+  * The Units show the Unit of Measure and will optionally print on invoices and orders
+  * The High and Low is the Max to Order and Min Stock to Trigger Reorder
+This item now created will be used for Purchase Ordering and Stocking of Bulk White Sand, and is
+the main focus for stock control as it will have the purchase history, and sales history both.
+While it would be possible to Sell this Bulk product in 1, 1.5, .25, or any partial quantity, this would only work
+if both the cost and the pricing percentage remained constant for both the Cost and for the List. For
+example, if selling .5 or ½ of the item costing $50 per unit of measure, with a list of $100, makes the Cost
+and List at ½ equal $25 and $50
+To better handle the selling of bulk stock, and allow higher percentage markups for smaller quantities, we
+recommend the following method, using the Kits feature of System Five
+Create the Selling Items for this product, see the examples below.
+To handle sales of a bulk product, we can sell a specific qty of the bulk product by attaching that
+quantity to another item as a kit. The first item, WWS.25 which will sell .25 or ¼ of a cubic meter of
+the Bulk sand part, BWWSAD-BULK.
+Use the Add New Part to create the Selling item. The only information at this point is the Item
+Number and Description.
+Now click on the Kits tab and click on Change Kit Type icon to see the following
+setup dialog.
+  * Select Dynamic
+  * Select Type 2 Non-Exploding
+  * Select OK to Exit
+Now on the Kit Setup screen click on the Add New Item icon, and enter the Part to Attach, in this case the BWWSAD-BULK part.
+After using the Partfind selection window, and selecting the part, you will return to this screen.
+  * Enter in the Quantity of the Bulk Stock for this part, in this example 0.25
+  * Note the Cost of the whole unit and the price
+  * The Qty and the Part Number shows in the kit
+Click back on the Inventory tab, the Cost for ¼ or .25 of one cubic meter of BWWSAD-BULK will now
+show as $5.75 in the Cost field, this is a calculated value based on the kit settings.
+You can now set the List or RRP to be what you want to charge for ¼ of a Cubic Meter of BWWSBULK.
+As and example this item is set to $14.
+Repeat this process for other items such as .5 or ½, 1.0 or 2.0 items, remembering to create the kits
+and the amount of bulk product for each, and the selling price.
+Now if we sell White Washed Sand by typing in WWS on the invoice, the selection will appear.
+Note that there is a little group of boxes symbol in the Multi Select column, this means a kit, the
+Quantity column has a ? and a numeric Qty, this numeric value shows how many of
+each kit are available to sell based on the number of cubic meters of bulk product in
+stock at the time of selection.
+Selection one on the invoice will prompt for how many to sell, usually for kits like these the default qty
+of 1 is correct unless you are prepackaging them into bags to sell, the it makes sense to sell 4 x .25
+cubic meter bags.
+Each time one of these items is sold, it will take the Qty Set in the kit out of stock, just as if you sold
+.25 of a Cubic Meter of the BWWS-BULK item , and the cost is ¼ of the cost of the Cubic Meter.
