Why not give multi-packs their own SKU, perhaps with their own pack
price.

If I buy six tins of cat food as a multi-pack, the package's bar code
(sku) is different from the individual tins inside.  This is how
the supermarket knows that I bought a multi-pack instead of picking
up six tins.

    sku      description     price    qty   item total
    1234-72  soap (72 pack)  $36.00   1     $36.00 

Just a thought, before you start creating a custom UserTag for use in
your CommonAdjust, which is the answer to your question, by the way.
