need to show the unit of measure conversion when creating a purchase order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, the unit of measure for an item can be set at the item level. This means that you can have different units of measure for the same item on different transactions, such as a purchase order and a sales order. However, this might require some manual adjustments, as the system might not automatically convert the units of measure between different transactions. To set the unit of measure for an item, you can go to Lists > Accounting > Items, and then select the item you want to edit. In the item record, you can set the Stock Units, Purchase Units, and Sales Units for the item. These units are derived from the Units Types that you have defined in your account. If you need to use different units of measure for the same item on different transactions, you might need to create a client-side script to handle the conversion. For example, if you buy an item in pounds but sell it in pieces, you can create a script to convert the units of measure based on the conversion rate for that specific item. Please note that the conversion rates are global and are defined in the Unit Type record. If each item has its own conversion rate, you might need to create a custom field to store the conversion rate for each item, and then use this custom field in your script to calculate the correct quantity. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
