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

UOM Price Format: “Rs. X Off on MRP"

Example (as per highlighted )  

• Selling Price: ₹750

• UOM Qty: 10

• UOM Type: Per Kg

Once UOM is provided, system automatically displays:

• Total Discount: ₹50 Off
