Maintaining Item Conversion Information

Item conversions are mapping attributes for converting reference items from one unit system to another for analysis purposes, such as generating bid histories.

When you click the Item Conversions link in the Reference Data component, the system takes you to the Item Conversion Overview component where you can add, change, and delete item conversion reference information. Type criteria in the Quick Find search box to locate the item conversion you want to work with, or click Show first 10.

The component displays a list of rows for all the item conversions in the system that match your search criteria. Each row contains an Actions button and current values for these fields:

To change the information in an item conversion, click the English Item link or select Open from the Actions menu on the item conversion row. The system takes you to the Item Conversion Summary and displays the settings for the item conversion. For more information, see Maintaining an Item Conversion.

To add a new item conversion, select Add from the Actions menu on the component header. The system takes you to the Add Item Conversion component. For more information, see Adding a Reference Item Conversion.  

To delete an item conversion, select Delete from the Actions menu on the item conversion row. The system shades the row gray to indicate it is marked for deletion. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

Click Save when you are finished to apply your changes to the system (including deleted information). The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.
