How to Calculate Conversion Factors (PCU)
Go to Conversion Factors (under the Packaging Overview). Check whether a Price Comparison Unit (PCU) needs to be registered.
If the price unit or one of the product's packages matches the price comparison unit for the product group the item belongs to, the conversion factor is filled in automatically.
If the PCU is not filled in, you must specify how many of the price unit are included in one unit of the price comparison unit.
The screenshot shows an example where the price unit is PCS and the price comparison unit is square meters. The value 4.5 means that 4.5 pieces are needed to make up one square meter.
