			<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>Once you have defined conversion factors of other units to one of the company's base units, you cannot change the base unit. To change the base unit, you must first delete the conversion factors related to the base unit. Use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/mcs/tcmcs0100s000" role="session">Base Units (tcmcs0100s000)</GUIRef> session to select or change the company's base units.</Paragraph>
