      <Paragraph>You can set up source and destination ERP Enterprise components to
		automatically convert the used source applications to their related destination
		applications, in activities of type application and of type support
		applications.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>When source applications are converted to destination
		applications, the destination applications determine how the source
