Summary of answer

VERSION	User Guide	ETL Convention
CURRENT	This field houses the verbatim value from the source data representing the unit of the Measurement that occurred.	This code is mapped to a Standard Condition Concept in the Standardized Vocabularies and the original code is stored here for reference.
SUGGESTED	This field contains the exact value from the source data that represents the unit of measurement used.	This value corresponds to a standardized CONCEPT_ID found in UNIT_CONCEPT_ID and in the 'Unit' domain within the Standardized Vocabularies. The original code is retained here for reference purposes.
