Boxed-weight workflow

Boxed-weight inventory that tracks boxes, sale sizes, and stock alerts correctly.

Some products are stocked by box and sold by size. This page explains how StockFlow keeps the stock model, selling flow, and low-stock alerts aligned.

Start with the workflow the team needs every day, then expand into deeper control as the business grows.

What this page covers

What businesses usually want to confirm before rollout.

These sections are written to help a buyer understand how the workflow fits daily operations, where it removes friction, and what changes once the team adopts it.

Use a product model that matches boxed stock

Boxed-weight products should not pretend to be standard quantity items. The product needs a dedicated stock model built around box balances and saleable size options.

Box count tracking instead of fake unit depletion
Weight-size manager per product
Global weighted-product manager for operational review

Sell multiple sizes from the same product cleanly

The same boxed product may sell in multiple sizes at different prices. The sales desk should let the seller pick the right size without losing stock clarity.

Retail and wholesale size-based pricing
Weight-size availability in the sales flow
Validation when requested quantity exceeds available stock

Set alerts on the stock unit that actually changes

Low-stock alerts for boxed products should track boxes or packs remaining, because that is the operational unit the business replenishes.

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask next.

Why not just use normal quantity for boxed products?

Because the replenishment unit is usually the box or pack, and the selling sizes sit under that box. Using normal quantity often produces misleading stock alerts.

Can I manage all weighted products from one page?

Yes. StockFlow includes a global weighted-products manager for reviewing box balances and jumping into weight-size management.
