Currently the routing defaults material to the stocking UOM. The system should allow the user to dictate the UOM (Any valid UOM from the conversion list) the material should be used in.

An alternative solution would be to add a manufacturing UOM.

Manufactures who manufacture large batches of small finished good often buy/stock components in large UOM but use just a little of this component to produce one unit of finished goods.

Having no UOM flexibility at the routing/usage level force the company to set the SYSTYEM WIDE setting for qty decimals to >5 unecessarily.
