Default Unit of measure / Multiple unit of measures for Product

Hi,

We have Products that have more than one unit of measure.

On the product page - the text for unit of measure is "Default Unit".

Question: Is there a way to have multiple unit of measures for the
product ?

Has someone accomplished this using a custom soulution. I have ideas
of creating another entity and linking it with a one to many
relationship, but I want to see if there is a better way to make this
work.

Goal: Product has more than one unit of measure - lb, ft
User on order page can select default unit of measure or one of the
alternate unit of measures.

Thanks

Hi,

You can do this by using the default entity Pricelist Items. When you relate
a product to a Default Unit, you've already chosen a Unit Group. When you add
a product to a pricelist by creating pricelist items, you can choose any unit
of measure that is in the same Unit Group as the Default Unit.
For one product you can create multiple pricelist items, so you can use
multiple units of measure for one product.

Good luck,
