Wholesale importers, hypermarkets, and commercial traders across Doha, Lusail, and Birkat Al Awamer buy imported goods by the pallet or carton, store stock in base units, and sell items as single pieces, packs, or gift hampers. Tracking each pack size as an unlinked SKU or calculating discounts manually fractures stock balances. multi uom and tiered pricelist erp qatar workflows connect unit conversions, product bundles, and customer-specific Qatari Riyal (QAR) price lists in one system.
Direct Answer: Axanta ERP provides multi-unit-of-measure (Multi-UOM) configuration, bundle product assembly, and multi-tier QAR pricelists for retailers and distributors in Qatar. Teams define linked base, purchasing, and POS selling units, deduct component stock when bundles are sold, and apply assigned retail or B2B price tiers in QAR, subject to configuration testing.
Why Disconnected Pack Sizes and Manual Pricing Hurt Qatari Traders
- Fragmented Stock Across Cartons, Packs, and Units: Importers receiving containers in Birkat Al Awamer or the Doha Industrial Area buy in 24-piece cartons while selling 6-packs to groceries and single units at counters. Unlinked item records force staff to post manual stock splits whenever a carton is opened.
- Untracked Component Stock in Promotional Bundles: During seasonal campaigns in Doha malls, retailers assemble gift baskets and multi-item bundles. Without linked component deduction, selling a hamper leaves item stock overstated.
- Price Display and Invoice Consistency in QAR: Qatar retailers should check current Ministry of Commerce and Industry guidance for shelf and invoice pricing. The Qatar Central Bank defines the Qatari Riyal as 100 dirhams, so QAR prices use two decimal places.
How Axanta ERP Connects Multi-UOM Conversion, Bundles, and QAR Pricelists
| Merchandising Area | Separate SKUs & Sheets | Axanta Inventory, Sales & POS |
|---|---|---|
| Pack Conversions | Manual stock splits | Linked Base, Purchasing, and POS UOMs |
| Pack Barcodes | One barcode per item | Configurable piece, pack, and carton barcodes |
| Promotional Kits | Manual write-offs | Bundle products deducting components |
| Customer Pricing | Manual discounts | Assigned QAR price lists by customer |
1. Linked Base, Purchasing, and POS Sales Units of Measure (UOM)
In Axanta Inventory, catalog managers configure a Base UOM (Piece or Kilogram) alongside a Purchasing UOM (Carton or Pallet) and a POS Sales UOM (Pack, Bottle, or Single Unit) using fixed conversion factors (such as 1 Carton = 24 Pieces). When a Doha warehouse receives 100 cartons on a purchase order, Axanta records inbound stock across the linked hierarchy. Packaging levels can be configured with separate barcodes. Test whether the chosen scanner and product setup recognize a single unit, a 6-pack, and a full case. Test unit conversion rounding and barcode recognition before rollout.
2. Dynamic Bundle Products with Component Inventory Deduction
Axanta ERP supports Bundle Products for retailers and distributors selling promotional gift sets, school kits, or appliance packages. Instead of creating phantom stock, merchandisers link the parent bundle SKU to its component products and quantities. When a bundle is billed at the POS counter or on a sales order, the configured workflow deducts component quantities from store or warehouse stock, keeping item availability and Stock Movement Reports aligned.
3. Multi-Tier QAR Pricelists and Purchase-to-Sales Margin Updates
Through Axanta Sales and Purchase workflows, managers maintain multiple Pricelists in QAR - such as Retail Default, Wholesale Tier A, Corporate B2B, or Hospitality Contract pricing - and assign them to customer accounts or channels. When supplier costs change on purchase orders, buyers use Axanta's purchase-to-sales price update workflow to recalculate selling prices against target margins. QPay, NAPS, and card collections are handled as POS tender recording and bank reconciliation unless direct terminal integration is separately scoped.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can we buy a product in 24-piece cartons and sell it both as single pieces and 6-packs in Qatar?
Yes. Configure a Base UOM (piece), a Purchasing UOM (24-piece carton), and a selling unit such as a 6-pack with tested conversion ratios. Check a sample receipt and sale against the resulting stock balance.
2. What happens to component stock when a cashier sells a promotional bundle at the POS?
When a configured bundle is sold, Axanta deducts the defined quantities of each component SKU from the store's inventory ledger. Confirm return behavior for bundles during your demo.
3. Can different B2B customers in Doha automatically receive their contracted QAR price tier?
Yes. Assign a specific QAR pricelist to each customer profile so quotations and orders pull that buyer's contracted rates automatically.
