Hi, We are using the foodsoft for our warehourse coop. We go to our warehouse and weigh the products we need. In this regard, foodsoft is missing a feature that is quite essential for us. When ordering there is no possibility to enter numbers, you have to click it up or down individually with the + and - buttons. Could that be changed? For example, we have washing up liquid for ~ 1ct / ml. So if I want to buy 500ml at them moment I have to click 500 times.

I am very thankful for help!

You could increase the unit quantity from 1 mL to e.g. 100 mL.

While it would generally be helpful to allow number input, it wouldn't really solve your problem, as long as only two decimal places are supported for prices. You could charge 0.01 €/ml (10€/l) but if the base price is e.g. 5€/l or 12€/l you couldn't set an accurate price per ml. I think the form should allow input of decimal numbers (for certain articles, for which it is enabled). But this also ties in with a discussion we had about revising article core data (more sophisticated units etc.) and I don't know if it made sense to implement this separately.
