For adding unit conversions:

   • Main unit is kg, additionally 1 gr = 0.001 kg.
   • Main unit is m, additionally 1 km = 1000 m.
   • Main unit is ft, additionally 1 in = 0.83 ft.
   • Main unit is lb, additionally 1 oz = 0.0625 lbs.
3. Once saved, it is possible to select the conversion in a BOM, if a material uses the main unit.
   • If unit is chosen in BOM, it will also be shown in the MO.
