    Dear Amit sir,
    One of my client is using alternate units. His Base unit is box and alternate unit is sheet. earlier the conversion rate is 12 Sheet = 1 Box but now the conversion rate is 14 sheet = 1 Box. How to deal with it. I am Proposing another Field Before STKI AltConv field and asking them to put 14 in that filed and i need to make changes in
    Stock Summery report to add this new alternate conversion is it a right way or any other solution exists
    please assist me in solving the issue

    But he is already using alternate units and the measurement units once selected cannot be changed now that is the reason for my question. is there any facility to change existing simple units into compound units without disturbing past data in tally if yes then please explain the procedure sir

    No...not possible now..... your Client should have used Compound Unit....with foresight and planning.

    Now all Items will have to be suffixed with + or 2 or whatever..........

    As for making a TDL..... there will lots of efforts.....Stock Query, Summary, Reports as well as Voucher level..............

    A harder way is possible............Since this is June only....so only 2.5 months.....Split the data........delete all entries with the concerned stock item and re-enter them with new settings. As long as Purchase/Sale/DN/CN is existing with this stock item, you would not be able to change from 12 to 14.
