2015-01-27 Product Unit of Measure (UOM) Conversion Demo

The purpose of this video is to demonstrate how to perform a unit of measure conversion where the target UOM is smaller than the product's default UOM. For example, ordering 2000 kg of 50 kg dog food bags on an order where the order line converts the amount to 40 bags of dog food.
Notes:
  1. This video solves the "The Product UoM needs to be the smallest UoM - Divide Rate must be >= 1 and always result in a valid UoM unit." error.
  2. You can define a generic UOM conversion as a result of this ticket. See the ticket comments for details on how to create the generic UOM records.
