A unit of measure quantifies the consumption of a usage resource. You can define units
of measure to support a wide range of usage resources. For example, a unit of measure can be
time-based, volume-based, transaction-based, or count-based.
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.
