Hi Rob,

Thanks for using Sage City.

Although you can enter the weight, in kilograms, of a product item in the relevant product record, this is for reference purpose only.

Sage 50cloud Accounts is designed to deal with products by whole quantities rather than weight, etc.

As a workaround, you could enter the weight value of one unit of sale for the product as the quantity, however, this can become complex if you have a mixture of products in quantity and products in weight in your product list. If you call out Support team on 0191 479 5955 and they’ll be able to show you examples of this workaround in your software.

Alternatively, you can log this as a suggestion to improve our Sage 50cloud Accounts software on our Ideas Board.

Hi Paul, thank you very much for your reply.

Woops! lost the thread. Weight is a side issue really. We need weight only for reference. What we do need to record/report (in addition to unit price) is pack size (eg 100 sacks in one bale). The bale is the unit that the Warehouse and transporter use to receive and deliver the goods, and to invoice us for the services. We can not tally stock without this Warehouse unit. We are not alone. Certainly textile processing companies all use these two units to do business - invoice in pieces and order process in bales. I will look into posting a suggestion for developers.
