Unit Conversion

Posted on by Sherwin 220

Hello 

So I have Item groups with multiple item Ids in each of them and their default unit of measure is in bags(bags respective to items vary in weight such as 500 gm, 1 kg, 1.5 kg).

I need to display them as metric tons in a report. Is there any work around for this?

    Hi Sherwin,

    Can you elaborate on your question? Why do you need a workaround? This assumes you already had some attempts and you didn't succeed yet. Please give some more background information.

    Hi Sherwin,

    You can convert them using UnitOfMeasureConverter

    The default unit of measure is in bags alone for all item groups and system wont allow to convert the existing data to tons. I cant change it to metric ton without building my report from scratch again.
