Amount (Fluid Ounces) - This number represents how many times 1 fluid ounce fits into the unit.
This is very important
- The system will allow you to purchase in one measurement and sell in another, as long as the measurements are in the same group.
- This means that the system needs to know how to convert one measurement into another. It does this by using the Amount (Fluid Ounces) number.
- Fluid ounces is the default unit. There is one fluid ounce in a fluid ounce. Where as there are 16 fluid ounces in in a pint.
