Unit of measure define

lally

What is the best method to define the different unit of measures .


For example

Customer will place the order for 5 LTR water bottle , qty = 1

But Vendor will send 500 Ml water bottle s qty which is equal to 5 Ltr , that means he send 10 bottles .

So like this how to deine the conversion.


That means I ML bottle , 2ML, 3 Ml, 20 Ml, 1LTR, 2.5 LTR bottle, 5 lTR botle .

I where should I define in Item card .

But I don’t know how to conversion these values.

That means In Item Unit of measures table
What is code and what is the Qty per unit of measure .

1ml = 1
2ml = 2
5ml = 5
10 ml = 10
500ml = 500
Ltr = 1000
2.5 LTR = 2500
5 LTR= 5000


Is this the right way ?

A 5 Liter bottle is something completely different than a 500 ML bottle. They are two completely different items. You can't set the base unit as ML and then simply convert it and sell it in a different unit, because it doesn't work that way. The conversion is more along the lines of having a base unit of 500ML bottles, a 6-pack of 6 of those bottles, or a box with 10 of those bottles, or a pallet of 100 of those bottles. You can't convert 5 liters to a multiple of ML just because the sceintific conversion works that way. A water company would not sell 10 bottles of 500ML as 5 liters, they would sell it as 10 bottles of 500ML.

You would only be able to do the conversion like that if you would sell the liquid in bulk, so you would have a huge tank of water, and people would tap a certain amount into a container.
