  2. Manage the Same Inventory Item in Multiple Units πŸ“¦

    New Feature

    Buying goods in one unit (such as kilograms) and selling them in another (such as bags)?

    You can now automatically manage unit conversions in Refrens:

    With Units of Measurement, you can:

    • Buy and sell the same item in different units
    • Add multiple alternate units with conversion factors
    • Set separate default units for sales and purchases
    • Automatically convert item quantities and rates
    • Track inventory consistently in the base unit

    For example:

    Suppose you purchase and sell rice in different units -

    • Base Unit: Kilograms (KG)
    • Alternate Unit 1: 1 Bag = 25 KG
    • Alternate Unit 2: 1 Sack = 50 KG
    • Default Purchase Unit: Sack
    • Default Sales Unit: Bag

    When you purchase 2 sacks, Refrens automatically adds 100 KG to your inventory.

    When you sell 3 bags, Refrens automatically deducts 75 KG from your inventory.

    Your purchase documents will use Sack by default, while sales documents will use Bag by default. Your inventory will always remain accurately tracked in KG.

    One item. Multiple units. Accurate inventory.

  7. Custom Formulas Just Got Easier to Use

    Improvement

    We’ve improved Custom Formulas in Refrens to make them easier to create and safer to customize:

    formula

    What's New:

    • Use column names in formulas: Instead of figuring out references like B1*C1, you can now create formulas using familiar column names such as {Length}*{Width}.
    • Rearrange columns freely: Move columns around in your invoice without affecting the calculation.
    • Rename columns without redoing formulas: Your formulas stay connected to the right fields even when you change their names.
    • Existing formulas continue to work: You don’t need to recreate formulas in your older documents.

    For example, if you bill customers based on area, you can simply create: {Length} Γ— {Width} to calculate the area automatically.

    You can then rename or rearrange these columns whenever you need, and the formula will continue to calculate correctly.
