I found this KB article. Any risk in following the steps to allow part specific UOM? I remember that UOM changes in the past were very finicky… (but hoping that a part specific UOM would allow an alternate to be chosen - FT or ROLL).

## UOM Part Specific Box Dimmed Unavailable KB0032735

**Issue**

Part setup has a conversion factor, and the UOM is wrong. Customer needs to change the conversion factor when the option is not available.

**Resolution**

1. Click on **Inventory Management**

2. Click on **Setup**

3. Double Click on **Part Maintenance** to open it

4. Go to **Tools** and select **Personalization** and click Yes to the **Clear this form**?  
**Note:** _A separate Control Properties box will open_

5. Click back to the **Part Maintenance** screen

6. Select the **UOMs** tab

7. Click on the **List** tab

8. Click anywhere in the **Part UOMs** area/field

9. Go over to the **Control Properties** pop up screen and select the **(Collection)** drop down menu

10. De-Select to unhide the **override** check box

11. Click on the header of the **Control Properties** main window and then click on **OK**

12. Go back to the **Part Maintenance** screen and bring up the part that you want to change

13. Navigate to the **UOMs** tab and then the **List** tab

14. Highlight the part specific row you want to modify

15. Flag **override** button

16. **Save** and then **refresh** the screen

17. Modify the part specific **factor**

18. Save

Your factor should be changed.
