The inventory units come from the product, specifically the
quantityIncluded and quantityUomId fields.

Does anyone know of a good reason why the InventoryItem (and many

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.
