Use this form to define how the company-specific unit conversions that existed for the company-specific units of measure are consolidated for shared units of measure.
Unit conversions define conversion formulas between units of measure. Each unit of measure has one unit conversion associated with it.
If the company-specific units of measure that the shared units of measure are derived from had different unit conversions associated with them, you must consolidate the unit conversions for each shared unit of measure. The unit conversions can differ in one or more of the following details:
Factor
Additional quantity
Rounding information
Note
If you change the factor, the additional quantity, or the rounding information for a shared unit conversion from what existed in the company-specific unit conversion, the changes also show in the existing data in the system.
Note
The definition of shared units of measure must be completed in the Preprocess units form before you can begin this task.
