Measurement Units
The Measurement Units feature allows you to define unit types for measurement and establish conversion factors between them.
This functionality enables you to create named measurement units (like meters, feet, kilograms), assign weighting factors for conversions between related units (such as converting kg to lbs using a 2.2 weighting factor), and specify default costs associated with each unit. Measurement Units provide consistency when working with different unit types across the system and help standardize how measurements are handled in property management operations.
Available from 7.0.0.0

Note: Other restrictions, such as User licence type restrictions and / or any restrictions to underlying functionality that is dependent upon Purchase Key licences will remain in place.
