Could someone help me with what is probably a really stupid question please?

If you're talking about a case of items in a supermarket i.e. a box of 12 items, would that be classed as 1 unit or 12 units?

It depends. Is it sold to the customer as a multipack ie 12 cans of pop, or is the 12 pack just an outer and the cans are sold singularly?

It's sold to the customer singularly.

s-a-h-

Could someone tell me how the company that can't be mentioned, pay, once you have completed a job?

Then it's 12 units, as the product is a single can and there are 12 of them available.

It would only be 1 unit if the product was the box of cans (cannot buy just the one or two), as then only one person could buy.

Thinking about it if they're asking how many cases they mean outers so it'll be one?

If they're asking how many cases they'll mean how many cases/boxes. If theyre asking how many units they'll mean how many cans.

For audits for company beginning with A where you just have to purchase all of a product with a certain thing wrong do you get reimbursed for what you buy? I said I'd do the job when told it was an urgent project for £x fee but now have received the details and have seen I have to purchase items but there's no reimbursement specified. I want to check there is one before I do it and end up potentially with either a lower fee or out of pocket.

Did a slow supermarket today for TNS. Didnt realise that I neednt have gone to the petrol dept and make a purchase!! Also has the fee for it dropped 50p or am I imagining it?

Felt like I was doing mine forever today - more depts I'm sure.

You did used to have to purchase something petrolly, so that 50p reimbursement has gone.
