Unit Conversions

Unit Conversions allow conversion between units by defining the source unit, target unit, and multiplier. Unit conversions are static.

For example:

1g converts to 1kg using a multiplier of 1000
1lb convert to 1kg using a multiplier of 2.20462

Note: The conversion multiplier is not based on material, operation, or any other entity.

Conversion Coefficients

Conversion Coefficients are used with the Energy module when conversion values change over time when reading meter item values. This is configured using a coefficient multiplier with a valid start and end dates.

Coefficients are not mandatory. Periods without coefficients are allowed. A coefficient can be configured without an end date to remain active.

For example, to convert from kWh to CO2 kg, a multiplier of 0.0095316 is used. Coefficients represent the cost of CO2 kg monthly:

From 01/01/2026 to 01/02/2026: Coefficient is 0.0545
From 01/02/2026 to 01/03/2026: Coefficient is 0.0544
From 01/03/2026: Coefficient is 0.0540
