Managing Your Inventory
Item Pricing History

When a Manufacturer Changes Packaging
Last Updated: March 2, 2026It happens more often than you’d think. A cigar brand you’ve carried for years suddenly changes their box count — what used to be a box of 20 is now a box of 25. Or a beverage vendor switches from 12-packs to 10-packs. The product is the same, but the packaging is different, and that...
