      • Per Lt

      • (Other configured units)

     Enter UOM Quantity - In the UOM Qty field, enter the quantity value

    Example (as per highlighted )  

    • Selling Price: 600

    • UOM Qty: 5

    • UOM Type: Per Lt

    Calculation Logic:

    • Selling Price ÷ UOM Qty = Price per unit

    • 600÷ 5 Lt= ₹120 per Lt

     

     

     

     

     

    UOM-Based "RS X Only"  Print Display
