A company produces and distributes seafood to supermarkets. During the manufacturing process, raw seafood is purchased, cleaned, and packaged into various- sized boxes. Each box may have a different weight.
Product is sold by the box and priced by the pound.
You need to ensure that you can perform transactions at the box level and record the net weight of goods shipped to a customer.
Solution: Set up the product as a catch weight item with batch control. Set the catch weight unit to box and the inventory unit to pounds.
Does the solution meet the goal?
Answer options
- A. Yes
- B. No
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The solution does not meet the goal because while it allows for tracking at the box level, it does not correctly address the requirement for pricing and transactions based on weight. Catch weight items are typically used when the weight of the product varies significantly, which does not align with the need to record transactions specifically by box. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
