Define unit of measure
Procedure Double-click the Quantity property of the affected BOM line. Teamcenter displays the Edit Quantity dialog box. Type the required value in the Quantity box and select a UOM from the Unit Of Measure list. Teamcenter converts the value you entered to the default item UOM and displays it for verification. For example, if the default item UOM is grams, when you enter a quantity of 2 and select a UOM of lb (pound), it displays 907 grams. Click OK to save the quantity in the database. The quantity is stored in the database in the item UOM, not the user-selected UOM.
