So Questions:
1. am i open this request as Nos or square meter?
2. if i am opening my request as Nos stock quantity isn’t suppose to be 20?
3. if i am opening my request as Square Meter stock quantity isn’t suppose to be 0.71?

could some one clarify this for me i am so confused about that.

You have to define the UOM Conversion Factor as: UOM = Stock UOM * Conversion Factor. So, in your case, if Nos is the Stock UOM, you have to define conversion factor 1 of the UOM = How many of the Stock UOM. So, 1 Square Meter = How many Nos. And the answer to that is 1/28.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
