# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.p4warehouse.com/v2/floor-operations/inventory/substitute-conversion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
