Hi Hans,

Sorry if this is a silly question, but why not just use different products for 
different UOMs?  You could use virtual/variants if you wanted the UOM to be 
selectable on a single product page and also marketing packages to 
automatically produce inventory for the desired UOM from the base UOM.

Regards
Scott
