# Substitute Conversion

Substitute Conversion is a P4W function that is designed to make the clean conversion from one SKU to a different one. 

In this case, a bin contains mineral oil measured in liters (1000 L). However, customer requires 4 bottles of mineral oil measuring 750 ml each (total of 3000 ml in bottles). Assuming that warehouse has a possibility to bottle liquid products, Substitute Conversion is able to transform 3 liters of mineral oil into 4 bottles of 750 ml each (as long and both products (SKUs) belong to the same substitution category). 

To start conversion process, navigate to Floor > Inventory and select 'Substitute conversion' option.
