# Purchase pack

The `PurchasePack` family — 7 operations.

A purchase pack is how a supplier ships a variant — a case of 24, a pallet of 480 — with a code, the units per pack, an optional pack barcode (GTIN), a nominal weight and outer dimensions. Create it here on the variant; purchase order and receiving lines entered in packs resolve to stock units through it, while your stock is always kept in the variant’s own unit. The units per pack are fixed at birth — a different count is a new pack.
