i would to know if there is any possibility to use uom in other doctypes with all the capabilities of it so if i would like to fetch the data with other uom rather than the default one.

Hello,

UoM is an independent doctype, hence you can use it in my link field. However, the validation on UoM like applied in sales and purchase transactions won’t be applied on that custom field. You will need to write the additional script for the validations.

thank you @umair
what i need actually is not validation just the conversion and showing each values based on selected uom in reports.

I believe calculating values based on conversion factor will also require custom scripting.

so means the conversion it will be done via scripting what about using uom already built in feature to get the conversion values.
