Hi, I couldn’t find a dedicated community for grocy
I’m very new to it, I figured out about most of the stuff, but this really makes me really confused
I have bottles of oil, like olive, sunflower, you know, and… How do I add them? I know it’s the same story with any weight product, I just started from liquids I already have parent products, I want to buy the oil in bottles, and quick use in ml, open in bottles, and maybe display total in liters, or in ml
Actually, doesn’t matter about total, i’m stuck everywhere else, thank you 🫡
The problem with Grocy is that going too fine grained means you’re unlikely to keep it up to date or it be accurate. I would not try to track your usage in ml. Just track it at the bottle level.
However you can still track the price per ml because grocy lets you independently set units. Just define a mapping between bottle and ml.
I don’t mind tracking in bottles, although a lot of stuff I already do is in milliliters or grams (not only cooking, I have different types of scales for different stuff. And usually I can do kinda magic with scales)
Anyway, how to fill all the parameters correctly, so it makes sence, assist me please 🙏
Then try something like:
Create Quanity unit of ml and a liter unit
In your product use: Unit stock: bottle or liter Unit purchase: bottle Consume: ml Price unit: ml
Set a product specific QU conversion of bottle to ml
Weirdly, the quick consume unit is based on the stock unit, not the consume unit. That seems like a bug.
