The Item Unit of Measure Conversion (ITEM_UM_CONV) table stores the unit of measure conversion rates for parts.
The application cannot process ITEM_U/M Conversion Line Types unless the Item exists. This Line Type is not processed if the Item Type is a S (Service) or G (Good), as goods and services do not have U/M rows populated. You can process multiple lines per item. The Item ID, Item Revision ID, U/M From, and U/M To combination must be unique for each U/M conversion.
After you have established unit of measure information on the Manage Units of Measure screen, you can view or update the information stored on the U/M Conversions subtask of the Manage Parts screen.
