            <Paragraph>During inventory updates, quantities expressed in the

			 data. If the application detects rounding differences between the quantity
			 expressed in the storage unit and the quantity expressed in the inventory unit,

            <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>Item X, inventory unit pcs. Storage unit kg (kilograms). 1
			 pcs = 3.333 kg. For both units, the rounding factor is 1.0.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>Registration of inventory records in both kilograms and pcs
			 is not always allowed, because quantities expressed in kg cannot always be
			 expressed exactly in pcs. If you perform one receipt of 100 pcs (=333 kg), and
			 later on perform 100 issues of 1 kg each, this would result in an inventory
			 level of 0 pcs and 33 kg. The application blocks such issues because of the
			 resulting data corruption.</Paragraph>
