Does anyone know of a good reason why the InventoryItem (and many other
entities) that deal with quantities does not have a Uom?  I referenced the
Data Model Resource Book volume 1 and even though it says that an Inventory
Item could represent 100 reams of ... it only stores the 100 as the quantity
not the reams.

This is important for us because we will model a raw material of "gold"
which can be purchased/sold in ounces or pennyweight (I think that is what
she said).  While a particular enterprise may select a standard unit of
measure, they could certainly create POs from suppliers that use a different
Uom.  One would think that Ofbiz would handle this and use the UomConversion
entity to do the conversion when it creates the InventoryItemDetail records.

Anyone have any opinions?  This would be quite a large change so I don't
want to bite this off at this moment, but I could capture any resolution
into a JIRA for future considerations.
