Without hard-coding the conversion rates in the Advanced PDF Template or anywhere else, How can I get the conversion rate of a unit of measure on a transaction line in the Advance PDF Template, so it automatically calculates the conversion rate of the unit of measure on each line?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To get the conversion rate of a unit of measure on a transaction line in the Advanced PDF Template without hard-coding the conversion rates, you can use the

unitstypeuom

field. This field contains the conversion rate for the unit of measure used in the transaction. Here's how you can do it: 1. Identify the

unitstypeuom

for the transaction line. This is the internal id of the units from your transaction. 2. Use this

unitstypeuom

to get the conversion rate. You can find it under "uom" in the Units Type Records Catalog entry. 3. Once you have the conversion rate, you can use it to convert the quantity and rate to the transaction units. To do this, divide your quantity by the

conversionrate

and multiply your rate by the same. Here's an example of how you can do this in a formula:

code
Quantity (Transaction Units) = Quantity (Base Units) / Conversion Rate
Rate (Transaction Units) = Rate (Base Units) * Conversion Rate

Please note that this method assumes that the conversion rate is stored in the

unitstypeuom

field and that the quantity and rate are initially in base units. If this is not the case, you may need to adjust the formula accordingly. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

Yeah that looks like a hard-coded solution to me, where you're saying to look up the conversion rates manually and use those manually-looked up (which therefore makes them hardcoded) values in the calculation.
