Purchase Orders unable to create fractional quantities even if item is sold by pound w .00 precision

Purchase Orders are unable to create fractional quantities even if item is sold by pound w .00 precision.

We have something sold by the pound. Catalog Units show it to have 0.00 (2 decimals) precision.

But when creating a PO it cannot take decimals. This defeats the purpose of selling by pound. Obviously we could adjust all to ounces, but it would create a lot of complexity in receiving to do conversions.

I think this is a bug/oversight?

Cannot type decimal point in Qty field.

Confirmed that item is in pounds though.
