This is a reference for how many store units there are in your supplier unit. This is crucial to getting the cost prices correct. For example, using the egg analogy, there are 6 eggs in a pack, so the unit conversion number would be 6. If your store unit is 1 pint, and your supplier unit is 1 keg, the unit conversion is, however, many pints are in a keg.

You will need to enter in the price for the supplier unit, and based on this and the unit conversion field, the system will automatically calculate the cost price for your store unit, and your markup accordingly. For example, if you're selling 1 pint, and your supplier unit is a keg, and you have 33 pints in a keg, and your keg costs you £50, your store unit price will be calculated automatically as £1.515. (The calculation will only extend to three decimal points).
