The Size Conversion feature utilizes conversion definition tables that will allow the system to convert a customer's measurements entered on a rental order into a size code that will match the size code entered in the inventory.

It is easier & less error prone for most operators to enter in size measurements on orders. However, in most rental warehouses it is simplier to utlize size codes on rental inventory. The conversion feature is designed to convert measurements into size codes.

A size conversion will automatically convert one notation into another notation. A Rental style must be assigned a size conversion table for it to be used during order entry.

The name(s) of the tables must be entered on the Inventory - Rental Tab form for a specific style code. Conversions can convert a size as a whole, or ones that convert the left and right sides of a size separately (left & right sides are separated by a hyphen).

See How to enter exact measurements for more information.

Some examples:

A conversion table called CoatSize

Min	Max	Convert To
20	25	A
26	30	B
31	35	C
36	40	D

A coat size of 21 would be converted to A. A coat size of 31 is converted to C.

Assume now you have a two conversions

PantWaist

Min	Max	Convert To
20	30	1
31	40	2
41	50	3

PantOutseam

Min	Max	Convert To
20	30	A
31	40	B
41	50	C

And a style code in inventory uses PantWaist for it's left side conversion, and PantOutseam for it's right side conversion.

Measurements entered of 21-32 would become 1B. Measurements of 42-30 would become 3A.

Conversion name...A unique descriptive name for the conversion.

Conversion list...Each entry in this list specifies a minimum and maximum value, and what to convert to.

If the size falls in the min, max range specified, it is converted to the specified value assigned to the range. Don't overlap the ranges, if you do, ProfitSystem will use the first range it finds.

The values must be numeric and the measurements to be converted must be numeric also.

To add a new range, click the Add Item button. A blank entry will appear at the end of the list. Click on the blank entry and enter the min, max, and convert to value. To remove a range, select the range in the list and click Delete Item.
