Unit conversions

Unit Conversion:




UnitOfMeasureConverter_Product is product specific unit conversion. It lookups defined conversions in the following order:

1. Use direct product-specific conversion, if one exists.
2. Use a chain of two product-specific conversions through one base unit of measure, if one exists.
3. Use a chain of product-specific conversions through two base units of measure, if one exists.
4. Use a chain of one product-specific and one standard conversions through one base unit of measure, if one exists.
5. Use a chain of product-specific or standard conversions through two base units of measure, if one exists.
6. Execute the calculation algorithm for the standard conversions.

Meanwhile, UnitOfMeasureConverter::convert is just a wrap method that will call UnitOfMeasureConverter_Product if ProductId is provided. If no ProductId specify, it just do standard conversion.

static void Job_UnitConversion(Args _args)

{

    #define.itemId('M0018')

     

    //Method one

    UnitOfMeasureConverter_Product  unitConverter   = UnitOfMeasureConverter_Product::construct();    

    unitConverter.parmProduct(InventTable::find(#itemId).Product);

    unitConverter.parmFromUnitOfMeasure(UnitOfMeasure::unitOfMeasureIdBySymbol('kg'));

    unitConverter.parmToUnitOfMeasure(UnitOfMeasure::unitOfMeasureIdBySymbol('ea'));

    unitConverter.parmRoundAbsoluteValue(NoYes::No);

    unitConverter.parmApplyRounding(NoYes::No);

    print unitConverter.convertValue(1010);

    //Method two

    print UnitOfMeasureConverter::convert(1010,

            UnitOfMeasure::unitOfMeasureIdBySymbol('kg'),

            UnitOfMeasure::unitOfMeasureIdBySymbol('ea'),

            NoYes::No,

            InventTable::itemProduct(#itemId),

            NoYes::No);

    pause;
