It might be nice to use a pattern here that is similar to the one
used on the Product entity, ie the combination of the
quantityIncluded, quantityUomId, and piecesIncluded fields. These are
pretty flexible, and it would be consistent with existing things.

Let's say I have to purchase a raw material (rope) from a supplier;
the ordered quantity is expressed in centimeters and the minimum
order quantity (and order quantity increments) is 10000; the price
for 10000 is 1$ and so the unit purchase price is 0.0001$.
This is the summary:
minimumOrderQuantity=10000
orderQtyIncrements=10000
quantityUomId=LEN_cm (centimeters)
lastPrice=0.0001$
I could not enter this price in the SupplierProduct.lastPrice field
because the decimals allowed there are 2.
One solution I think is the following one:
minimumOrderQuantity=1
orderQtyIncrements=1
unitsIncluded=10000 (is it ok to use this field or should I add a
new one for this purpose?)
quantityUomId=LEN_cm (centimeters)
lastPrice=1$
Does this make sense?

PS: I've noticed that the SupplierProduct.lastPrice is of type
currency-amount; shouldn't it be of type currency-precise like the
ProductPrice.price field?
