Decimals in purchase order for weight based products

Reopening this request.  This is something I have noticed others responding to as well with a need and it is not a large development effort (I used to be in software development myself).

 

 
We sell cheeses and receive cheeses in Lbs but cannot use the PO feature as the cheeses are received in decimals of lbs.  E.g. we may order 5 lbs but receive 4.98lbs or 5.45lbs and are charged based on the exact weight.

 

We currently cannot use the PO feature as it only allows full numbers and does not recognize items stocked in lbs ability to have decimals.  We need to go into each item to receive them which is time-consuming and error-prone.

 

You have most of the development already there since you are able to manually receive stock into decimals, all that needs to be done is have the PO read the unit of measure of the items.

Using Square for my butcher shop, unacceptable that the PO tool doesn't allow receiving the exact weight of items sold by weight. I can't create invoices using my POs to pay vendors and have to enter invoices separately, twice the work.
