Packagings are used to buy or sell a product in multiple quantities. For example, you can buy a product in a box of 100 and sell the same product in a box of 10. It is also used to define the "By sales unit" when a product is not sold by the unit but only by 10.
Creating a Packaging

Select the name of the packaging, it's quantity and it's SKU.
Once the packaging has been created, you can edit it like any other product, give him its own price for instance. If the packaging doesn't have a price of its own, his price will be the unit price times the number of units in the packaging.
