The short answer on this question is: what you buy from your supplier

It is not necessary to convert the package size yourself. For example: if you're a bartender and you buy your liqour in packages of 6 bottles of 75cl, you should put add packages from 6x75cl.

Then, in the cocktail recipe itself, you should use the shot size (e.g. 5 cl) and the software will do the recalculation of the costs or the amount to take out of stock for you.

On a further note, the price you enter should also be for the full 6x75cl package. So if you pay €20 per bottle, you fill in €120 for this package. Then, when you use 5 cl in a cocktail, it will recalculate towards 1,33 euro for 5 cl.

The input of package size is best done in the amount you buy it from your supplier.
