Conversion Value

You use the Conversion Value table to define conversion factors between Comparison Unit of Measures. You use the comparison units and the conversion values to let the program calculate Comp. Price Incl. VAT.

You select one base comparison unit to set up conversion values for. You select the unit to which you want to compare the base unit and enter as conversion factor the number that the chosen unit needs to be multiplied with to convert it into the base unit.

Example - In order to calculate kilogram price for an item that is sold in a 100g package, you need to set up the conversion factor between the unit of measure of the item and the comparison unit. You set up the conversion factor between them in the Conversion Value table.

The program can automatically calculate conversion factors and create entries in the table if you have set up the minimum amount of conversion factors.

Example - You have set up three comparison units, Liter, Milliliter and Centiliter, you first select Liter to set up its conversion values. The conversion factor between Milliliter and Liter is 1000 and the conversion factor between Centiliter and Liter is 100. When you have entered this information in the Conversion window for a Liter, the program has already created a conversion value entry for Milliliter and Centiliter. If you later add another unit, like fluid ounces, you only need to set up a conversion factor with one unit, such as Liter. The program then calculates and creates entries for the other units connected with Liter.
