General description #
When enabled, the configuration Counter Products allows you to associate the counter products with a product, allowing you to select the related products only in an orderline while selling or buying products.
artikelen.counter_products: true/false
When enabled, the configuration also adds an extra drop-down menu to the Product screen where you can select whether the product is Purchase or Sales type. You can also choose to use the product as type Both, which means it can be used in both sales and purchase contracts.
A sale product can only be associated with a purchase-type product and vice versa. However, if a product is defined as type “Both,” you can associate a counter product of purchase type only with it.
Significance of counter products on the order screen #
The configuration allows you to select associated or counter products only while creating purchase-to-sales (Back-to-back) orders.
For example, you have a product ” Product A” of type purchase with an associated product “Product B” of type sales. When creating a back-to-back order for Product A, only the contracts created for Product B will be available for selection on the sales (destination) side.
