how can i set a uom as meter to be be used as consumption unit for piece purchasing uom

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To set a Unit of Measure (UOM) as meter to be used as a consumption unit for piece purchasing UOM, you need to set up Unit of Measure conversions. Here are the steps: 1. Navigate to Lists > Accounting > Units of Measure. 2. Create a new Unit Type, for example, 'Length'. 3. In this Unit Type, you can add different UOMs like 'Meter', 'Centimeter', 'Foot', etc. and set their conversion rates relative to the base unit. For instance, if 'Meter' is your base unit, 'Centimeter' would have a conversion rate of 100. 4. Now, go to the item record that you want to set the UOM for. 5. In the 'Sales/Purchase/Shipping/Inventory' section, you can set the 'Unit Type' to 'Length' (or whatever you named your Unit Type). 6. Then, you can set the 'Purchase Unit' to 'Piece' and the 'Consumption Unit' to 'Meter'. Please note that once the base UOM is set on an item, it cannot be changed. Also, the UOM on the work order for the item being built cannot be changed. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
