The Unit Conversion page lets you define the rules for unit to unit conversion. For example, if an agreement has items or other costs with different currencies assigned, a conversion rule is needed to calculate the total cost of the agreement.
You can define a conversion factor and two constant values Factor, Addend1, and Addend2 respectively. The following formula is used for the unit conversion:
UNIT_TO = (UNIT_FROM + ADDEND1) * FACTOR + ADDEND2
For example, to convert Degree Celsius to Degree Fahrenheit, Addend1 is 0 (zero), Factor is 1.8, and Addend2 is 32, so the equation is:
Degree Fahrenheit = (Degree Celsius + 0)*1.8 + 32
We recommend to define common conversion rules in the product group so that the rules
are available for all the projects defined under the product group.
