This page allows you to add conversion factors for a combination of UOM’s. Item independent conversion involves conversion of a standard UOM to another and the conversion does not depend on the nature of the item. The conversion factor is universal in these cases, as in the conversion of Meters to Centimeters or Kilograms to Grams. You can enter only one conversion factor to convert a particular UOM to another. A help facility is provided to retrieve the UOM.
