Title: The UOM is the same for length, width and heigth - could this be changed?
Post by: Otto0815 on August 23, 2012, 02:28:07 AM
Hi dev Team,

i think it very unpracticable to use the same UOM for lenght, width and hight...is there a chance that you change it so, that we can use a differernt one for every SKU?

e.G. SKU 11111 = Length 2m hight: 5mm width: 2cm
       SKU 22222 = Lenght 10cm hight: 1cm width: 5mm

I find it more userfriendly that way.....

More userfriendly? It is exactly the opposite.

a door in germany has 1950mm. and not 2 meter ! Using different units is always confusing and most people CAN NOT calculate it. Be aware that one mars voyager crashed on the planet due wrong unit calculation.
