         <Paragraph>Use this session to simulate conversions
		  between the units in an item's <Link href="/baanerp/tc/glossary/glossary#UnitSet_tc" role="glossary">unit set</Link>. Before you can use this session, you must specify the conversion
		  factors between the units of the unit set in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0103m000" role="session">Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>

      <GeneralSection>
         <ProcedureList>
            <ListIntro>To see whether a <Link href="/baanerp/td/glossary/glossary#ConverFactor_td" role="glossary">conversion factor</Link> exists between two units of a unit set, and the value of the conversion factor:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>Select the item.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Select the base unit.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Select the unit that you want to convert to the base unit.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>Click Calculate.</ListItem>
         </ProcedureList>
         <ExampleSection>
            <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>If the item's weight is 6 kg a piece and you select the
			 following: Base unit = pcs(piece). Unit = kg (kilogram). The Value field shows
			 how many base units (pcs) it takes to make up one unit (kg), which in this case
			 is 1/6 = 0.166666666.</Paragraph>
         </ExampleSection>
         <Paragraph>If the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0203s000#found.rpow" role="manual">Raise 10 to the Power</GUIRef> field shows a value other than zero, you must multiply
		  the found value by 10 to the shown power to obtain the correct conversion
		  factor. You can use this to display very small quantities correctly.</Paragraph>
         <ExampleSection>
            <SectionTitle>Example</SectionTitle>
            <Paragraph>If the item's weight is 4 kg a piece and you select the
			 following: Base unit = pcs(piece). Unit = ton (1000 kg). It takes 1000/4 = 250
			 base units (pcs) to make one unit (ton). Depending on how you specified the
			 conversion factor in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0103m000" role="session">Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000)</GUIRef> session, this can be shown as: Value = 25. <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ibd/tcibd0203s000#found.rpow" role="manual">Raise 10 to the Power</GUIRef> field = 1.</Paragraph>
         </ExampleSection>
         <ProcedureList>
            <ListIntro>If the selected base unit is not the item's <Link href="/baanerp/wh/glossary/glossary#000337" role="glossary">inventory unit</Link>, ERP Enterprise performs
			 the calculation in two steps:</ListIntro>
            <ListItem>The selected base unit is converted to the item's inventory
			 unit.</ListItem>
            <ListItem>The resulting quantity of the inventory unit is converted to
			 the selected unit.</ListItem>
