If you create a UI customization on part entry there is a Boolean field available that isn’t on the form by default called override, bind this to a checkbox. Once you check this it will allow you to change your UOM all day long. Once you save, it will automatically uncheck itself and the conversion will revert to read only once again.

It does take some time and very importantly has to be done when the part is initially made. Once the has been used flag is set you can’t easily change the UOM factors. There is no other way to use material in multiple units and have the system do all of the behind the scenes conversions.

Hi Greg,
Ok, I did have set up the UOM Class as "Other" with LB as base UOM and then created a new UOM conversion with inches.
Conversion for 1IN = x 1LB would be just for one type of material.
What if we would have hundreds of materials which vary depending on kind of material we order and the density of material? Create a conversion for each one??
That would take some time...
Thanks!
