Quantity Rounding
Inventory is displayed consistently across product pages, the shopping cart, and checkout, including the estimated availability dates. This ensures customers see accurate stock information at every step, reducing order errors and improving the buying experience.
Quantity rounding allows webstore administrators to control how product quantities are displayed and handled in your Sana webstore, ensuring consistency with the rules defined in your ERP system.
In Sana Admin you can set up quantity rounding for products per unit of measure, for example, 0,5 kilogram and 1 piece.
In your ERP system, you can also configure quantity settings for a product. Item quantity settings in the ERP system have higher priority rather than quantity rounding settings in Sana Admin.
