What a set ratio is
Wholesale footwear is packed in sets: a fixed number of pairs of each size. The ratio lists them in size order.
Sizes 6-7-8-9-10 in the ratio 1-2-2-2-1 = 8 pairs in a set. Ten sets = 10, 20, 20, 20 and 10 pairs — 80 pairs.
- Enter the first size; the following sizes go up by one.
- Type the ratio with dashes, spaces or commas.

Questions
Is a set the same as a carton?
Not always. A set is the ratio; a carton is the box. One carton may hold one set or several, depending on the maker.
Why do the middle sizes get more pairs?
Because more customers wear them. The ratio follows the sizes that sell, so that the set sells out evenly.
Enter “10 sets” and be done
In Padam you define the ratio once; purchases and wholesale bills split it per size.
