Volume*Strength Units of Measure

When prices for variable strength items are agreed in a volume*strength units of measure, like liters of alcohol, a best practice is to use that unit of measure as the price unit of measure. The order processing will in many cases be done in volumes (liters, hectoliters or other) where the (default) strength of the item converts that to the liters of alcohol.

When ordered in bulk, the actual volume and strength of the goods can deviate from the order. To make it possible to register these differences in a simple and efficient way, without manual calculations, you can setup the recalculation parameters in the unit of measure table.
