Create a UOM Conversion Set

UOM Conversion Sets are useful for customizing the display of numeric values for the users in your system. Any numeric field can have a UOM defined for it to indicate the unit of measure for the stored value. The base (or stored) UOM, however, may not be appropriate for all users. For instance, some users may prefer to see a value that is stored in inches converted to and displayed as centimeters. Other users might prefer to see the same value converted to millimeters. You can allow for numeric values to be converted to different display values for different users by defining UOM Conversion Sets.
