For billing purposes, all units of measure in a unit of measure class are converted to the default unit of measure. The conversion factor equates one unit of measure to another. For example, for the Weight unit of measure class, the default unit of measure is pounds (lb). Therefore, all records with the Weight unit of measure class are converted to equate one unit to 1 pound. If the unit of measure is kilograms, the conversion factor is 2.2 because 1 kilogram equals 2.2 pounds.

Usage For measuring consumption in non-currency units, such as API calls, GB, or hours. Currency For measuring consumption value in currency, such as USD or EUR.

For example, the Data class uses the Usage category, with GB, MB, and TB as the units associated with the usage type. The Currency class includes units such as USD, INR, and EUR and requires the Currency category because it represents currency types. -
