We have certain items, e.g,. lag bolts or washers, that we obtain from a variety of vendors. For the sake of a simplified inventory, we prefer to use one main item number with vendor aliases. However, some vendors sell an item in a package of 5 while others sell the same item in a packages of 25 or 100. When creating a purchase order, that could wreak havoc on the number of items received and could be a costly mistake. It would be helpful to be able to add the purchased U/M in vendor alias.

We need a purchase uom and conversion factor by vendor for the same reasons Melinda B states.
