				<Paragraph>To select a default unit, a conversion factor must exist for the unit you want to select, or the unit must be a base unit. For example, if KG (kilogram) and PND (pound) are weight units, and if KG is the base unit, a conversion factor between PND and KG must exist. In this way, weights expressed in PND can be converted to KG. Conversion factors are defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0103m000" role="session">Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
