Seweryn Niemiec commented on OFBIZ-4252:
----------------------------------------
I do not know how exactly value stored in conversionFactor attribute is used,
but if it is used for example to pretty print big numbers in reports then you
will simply get wrong values. I can assure you, that no one in telecom industry
expects binary prefixes in bit rates. Maybe Ki prefix is funny for some people,
but there are others for which it is boring.
For me it would be best to set conversionFactor to 1000. This way you will have
correct prefixes (except for 'K', which should be 'k') and correct multipliers.
People will start getting correct values.
> wrong prefixes for DATA_MEASURE units in UnitData.xml

> Units from DATA_MEASURE section use multipliers for binary prefixes, but
> symbols for decimal prefixes. Symbols for binary prefixes are defined in IEC
> 60027 standard and are: Ki, Mi, Gi, etc.
