C-Store Essentials automatically manages item mappings for cartons and packs using a built-in mapping table database.
However, you can manually set up mappings to ensure accurate inventory tracking
How Item Mapping Works
When 1 carton is sold, the system subtracts 0.1 cartons from your inventory
When 1 pack is sold, the system subtracts 10 packs from your inventory
This mapping applies to sodas, tobacco products, beer, and other multi-pack items
If you want to create your own mapping table, complete the steps below
