How can i set unit of purchase for an item to be pieces and to be consumed by meters

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

In NetSuite, you can set up different units of measure for purchasing and consumption of an item. Here's how you can do it: 1. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Units of Measure. 2. Here, you can set up different units of measure. For your case, you can set up a unit of measure for 'Pieces' and another for 'Meters'. 3. Once you have set up the units of measure, you can then go to the item record and set the Purchase Unit of Measure to 'Pieces' and the Consumption Unit of Measure to 'Meters'. However, please note that once an item's base unit of measure is set and saved, it cannot be changed. This is to ensure the integrity of all past transactions involving that item. If you need to use a different base unit of measure, you might need to create a new item with the desired base unit of measure. Also, please be aware that the Units of Measure feature in NetSuite can be complex and convoluted, especially if you are using it for manufacturing. It is recommended to do extensive research and testing before implementing it in a live environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
