Unit Conversion Discipline & Centralized Engine
Never rely on ad-hoc math multipliers. NespoCASH uses a centralized unit engine to convert seamlessly between base units (grams, milliliters, pcs) and purchase units (kilograms, boxes, liters).

Unit Conversion Hierarchy & Mathematical Multipliers
| Unit Category | Base Standard Unit | Alternate Unit | Multiplier to Base | Conversion Formula |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | Gram (g) | Kilogram (kg) | 1,000 | Base Grams = Kilograms × 1,000 |
| Volume | Milliliter (ml) | Liter (L) | 1,000 | Base Milliliters = Liters × 1,000 |
| Count | Piece (pc) | Dozen (dz) | 12 | Base Pieces = Dozens × 12 |
| Count / Packaging | Piece (pc) | Carton / Box (ctn) | User-Defined (e.g. 24) | Base Pieces = Cartons × ItemsPerBox |
Note: Standardized unit conversion prevents inventory unit discrepancies and valuation errors.
