Conversion from 1/2 Case to full case

Question

Hi,
I have a reporting requirement where I need to provide user with flexibility to report on 2 different levels. For example there is a material with 12 packs. The actual unit of measurement is 24packs for a case.So 12 packs form 1/2 case. If there are materials belonging to 12 packs the user should be able to report it as 12 packs as well as 24 packs. So if we have to report it as 24 packs, the quantity has to go against the 24 pack material. Pls see example below.
Material                                                        Qty
1224 - 12 Pack Orange Juice                         49
1294 - 24 Pack Orange Juice                         60
In report the user should be able to see it as
Material                                                        Qty
1224 - 12 Pack Orange Juice                         50
1294 - 24 Pack Orange Juice                         60
as well as
Material                                                        Qty
1294 - 24 Pack Orange Juice                         85 (60 + 25 from 12 pack)
How do I achieve this? Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
It helps more or less...
because in the example you give, you want to have 85 cases imputed to one material whereas it comes from 2 different materials.....
So thebest you can do is to reorganize your hierarchy (or create a new one) .... and calculate the summation with a modulo 24... 12 = 1/2 mod 24....
Use the mathematical functions to do that...
But you will never be able to hide everything under one material, except if your hierarchy emulates the grouping at material level....But as you are in the consumer business (I guess), it is going to be very long....
