Supply Chain › Units & Packaging
Unit Conversions
The conversions arithmetic cannot derive. A rule with no item is a company rule; a rule with one belongs to that item and beats it.

What the list shows
These are the columns of the list, in the order they are drawn. Any of them can be sorted on, filtered on, hidden, or exported.
| Column | Kind | Field name |
|---|---|---|
| From | Code | from_code |
| To | Code | to_code |
| Factor | Number | factor |
| Numerator | Number | numerator |
| Denominator | Number | denominator |
| Scope | Status | scope_label |
| Item | Code | item_no |
| Both ways | Yes or no | is_reversible |
The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.
| Field | Type | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Choice | Looked up from existing records | Leave empty for a company-wide rule. Naming an item makes it that item’s own, and it wins. |
| From unit required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| To unit required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| Numerator required | Number | One case is twelve each: numerator 12, denominator 1. A ratio rather than a decimal, because 1/12 is not exact. | |
| Denominator required | Number | ||
| Works the other way round too | Yes or no | ||
| In force from | Date | ||
| Until | Date | ||
| Notes | Long text |
The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
