1. Stock Master Data.

Types	Field Name	Data Types	Length	Usage
STD	Code	String	30	Product Code, eg. ACGAAA100SK-31004300
STD	Description	String	200	Product Name, eg. Matt A/Paper China
STD	2nd Description	String	200	Paper packaging size to be display in sales tax invoice, eg. 100gsm 31" x 43"
STD	Base UOM	String	10	stock unit of measurement, usually either enter as REAM or MT or PKT
DIY	GSM	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	GSM value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Width	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	Width value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Length	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	Length value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	PKT	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 2	PKT value for Weight KG calculation
DIY	Weight_MT	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 4	Weight MT value
DIY	Weight_KG	Float	Size :10 SubSize: 4	Weight Kgs value

2. Formula:

Weight KG = ((GSM x Width x Length)/3100)/PKT 
Weight MT = Weight KG/1000 


Both formula results are rounding up to 4 decimals.

3. Under Tools | DIY | SQL Control Center...Browse to Stock | Stock Item and insert new event OnBeforeSave with the DIY Script below:

 Var M : TDataSource;
 
 begin
   M := TDataSource(Self.FindComponent('dsAccess'));
   M.DataSet.Edit;
   M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_KG').Value := SimpleRoundToEx((((M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_GSM').AsFloat* 
                                                 M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Width').AsFloat* 
                                                 M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Length').AsFloat)/3100)/M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_PKT').AsFloat),-4);
                                                
   M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_MT').Value := SimpleRoundToEx((M.DataSet.FindField('UDF_Weight_KG').AsFloat/1000),-4);                                                  
                                              
 end.
