Only one unit name is allowed; if materials are purchased and sold in different units, either apply conversions before making entries or create separate inventory items and use production orders or inventory kits to handle the differences. The solution you would like to find but is not currently available is the ability to have custom fields which contains a formula. That would enable you to enter a quantity in one unit and have if simultaneously displayed in another unit. Several current ideas maybe addressed with this type of functionality.

@ademmgunduz, I think you have a different question than other forum members are addressing. One inventory item can only have one unit of measure. A rope can be sold by the meter. Chicken can be sold by the pound. But I believe your issue is that as you start entering unit names, options appear. But you are not restricted to those. Any units of measure originally available in the `Unit` field can be replaced with anything you want. ---

This is possible if you use sales invoice custom fields but you will have to enter the quantity and unit of the second value (kgs) manually ---

I would just write such details in the description for example “Top fabric 1kg/meter colour red” and use as Unit name the unit that is used to set the sales price in this example “meter” where price is determined on the number of meters sold (or purchased when bought from supplier). If indeed the customer wants you to total both the meters and related kilograms then a custom field can be added to the line item that provides this information in such way as @Joe91 recommends or typed by you in full. ---

I don’t think I can explain the situation to you. Two units are required. and this function is not in the program Developer friends should activate adding the 2nd unit. 2 units for card stock. and-- most important It is necessary to open an additional tab called the package list.

> [@ademmgunduz](#): > > I don’t think I can explain the situation to you. It is well understood what you want and that would be multiple columns that can multiply with each other but that is currently not a feature in Manager as @Patch already pointed out. Therefore you were provided with alternatives that you could use with the current features in Manager to at least get the information across to your customers even though it will involve limited automation of the calculations. Given the fact that you want column presentation of both meters and weight then you should follow @Joe91 advise and use a custom field. @Lubos just released a version where you can add pure numeric custom fields, which I hope will eventually lead to the possibility to have multiple columns with numeric data to be used in a calculated field. For the meantime it will be a manual field and you have to do the calculation yourself. ---
