Do I need Multi Inventory + Product Levels?

Hi,
I have used ATUM in the past, very good product. I used to use ATUM Inventory Management, Product Levels + Multi Inventory.

I have changed my inventory setup and still want to know if I still need to purchase multi inventory?

Currently I just have one large inventory, then I sell them in packs. So I have 500 inventory of one item, and I sell them in variations of 5 packs, 10 packs and 20 packs.

I currently setup my inventory by creating a Product Part in Woocommerce. I set the 500 inventory.

Then I create a Variable Product in Woo. Under the Variations tab, I click on the product and go to "Product Parts" then I set how many the "Receipe" uses. I have three variations for 5, 10 or 20 packs. ATUM splits the 500 across those three.

Do I still need Multi Inventory? I no longer have multiple warehouses, I just pull from one location and am unsure if I still need Multi Inventory to properly setup BOM the way I am looking.

Hi Breezy9127

If I understood well, you only need Product Levels.
Multi-Inventory is only needed if you need to separate the stock of any product for some reason (if you have it located in multiple places, or if you have an offline store + online store, or if you are manufacturing and need to specify lot batches, or if you need region restriction for your customers, etc).

But if you only need to have packs of products and share the stock between them, that can be achieved with Product Levels only.
