Default: CBM.

Weight converter

Values: KG, LB

Default: KG

Formula: 1 KG = 2.204 LBS

PCS converter

Values: HU, AMS

Default: HU.

Formula:

HU (Handling Units) = Ttl # of plts + Loose pkgs

AMS number = Ttl pkgs on plts + Loose pkgs 

• ss1 // For some pdfs for commod table we need to add choice to print instead of HU number (as we have now) AMS number (Ttl pkgs on plts + Loose pkgs)

• ss2 // all we need is dropdown with 2 options "HU, AMS" (similar to cbm/lb)

• ss3 // no need to change label on pdf or print unit of measurement
