How to determine the REAL purchase price (per Each)

edited Jan 3, 2020 1:13AM in Search / Reporting 4 comments

I'm trying to calculate "margin" with a formula, which I have defined as ({baseprice}-{cost})/{cost}.

This works great except when the purchase units are not the same as the stock units. I stock & sell everything by the "Each" but buy in units like "Case6", "Case12", etc.

While I can search for "purchase units" and display it, it displays a string like "Case6" or "Case12", and I do not get the unit conversion rate that would be necessary for me to do a meaningful margin calculation.

Am I missing something? Does Netsuite expose the "Unit Conversion Rate" anywhere so I can convert my purchase units to stock units?

Howdy, Stranger!
