Unit Conversion

The Unit Conversion section is used to configure conversion relationships between different units of measurement used across inventory and asset operations.

Unit Conversions are associated with:

• Unit of Measure configurations

• Item Groups

• Inventory calculations

• Procurement operations

These configurations help standardize quantity conversions and ensure accurate inventory calculations across different measurement units.

Examples:

• Kilogram to Gram

• Meter to Centimeter

• Liter to Milliliter
