It's a matter of keeping it simple ( or at least trying ;) ).

For me, we need to track the lot for the main product data
(traceability, expiry date, .. ). Then we can have those products
"re-packaged", depending on the settings (eg, inpatient vs outpatient)

So, if we get a shipping of all the amox. boxes, we need to then make
the stock move at unit level (tablet / capsule).

At hospital settings, you can have one main warehouse and several
internal locations. They can then order to the main location n boxes,
and separate them into their units. So at the main location we deal with
boxes, and at each location we deal with units. Does it make sense ?
This units would need to be linked to the lot number.
