Hi! I'm new to soapmaking, but I make a lot of non-soap products already. This also would apply to my soaps when I start making those as well though. I was trying out adding my non-soap products to SF in order to track inventory in one place, but I noticed on the final batch screen, it adds up the cost of the ingredients in each of my items, but I need to do the math for the packaging. If we could assign certain packaging to the groups we're making it could add up the total completely and get a true cost per item.
In my example, I'm making 10 full size products, and 2 testers / sample sized products. (Normally I wrap the cost of those into my product but that might be too complicated to do here? I'm not sure). The larger tins and labels go with group 1 and the smaller ones with group 2.
Maybe I'm using this wrong though? Is there a workaround or a better way to do this? Basically I want to have a good way to get the total cost including packaging and divide it out by the total sellable units. Adding in markup % or multiplier would be the icing on the cake. Even a Total Cost of Packaging at the bottom like you have for Ingredients and Labor would help. Thanks!
