Hi, I'm looking for the ideal way to set up this item 🙂 We have an item that we order from multiple vendors, each vendor sells the item in a different UOM. How would you set up the base unit type?

Usually it’s best to set up the base units as the smallest possible unit of each form of measure
For example
pcs would be “Each”
Length would be “Inch”
Weight would be “ounce” or maybe “pound”
So your units types would be
Each or Eaches
Length
Weight
Volume
Etc
Then the base of each unit type would be
Each
Inch
Ounce
Etc
(With a conversion rate of 1)
Then build you table up from there
Eaches table could have
Case of 10
Box of 12
Pack of 100
Length table could have
12 feet
3 yards
100 meters
All with their respective conversions
