    Dear Krishna,

    As rightly highlighted by Ivengen, you need to setup a unit conversion between a litre and a kilogram.

    As litre and kilogram are from different unit class one belonging to liquid volume and one to mass you cannot setup the conversion in standard unit conversion.

    Create a unit conversion specific to the item in Inter class conversion.

    To clarify the last important comment

    when you ant to convert in the same physical dimension e.g length then 1 metre will always = 100 cm no matter what the item material.

    Because weigth and volume are different physical diemsnions you cannot set up a constant  conversion because density plays a part and that is different for each item, and therefore the Kg to Lt conversion is unique for each item and has to be set up for each specific item you wish to convert.

    Much the same applies to units like  box and piece , a box of 1 item may have a 100 pieces, for another item it may be a dozen, so a  generic conversion of box to piece does not work and you need to set it up to be item specific. on the product master.
