Comment 4 for bug 538502

Hello,

yes, we also noticed you can't use OpenERP to buy ham in a different unit
(the book example), and we had a few doubts you could even sale it properly
(may be a few things have been fixed). Of course we wish it's fixed in
OpenERP. However, we feared it would take resource that would better be
allocated to things even more important such as accounting and had some fear
trying to fix that would introduce wildcat API changes or regressions.

That's why we fixed the issue by developing a brand new module for that:
https://code.launchpad.net/~akretion-team/+junk/product_second_uom
You'll also find the third party specification here:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+spec/stock-movements-in-2-measure-units

Hopefully it helps OpenERP S.A. to fill the gap in the core ERP to be able
to use the second UOM properly has suggested by the examples, at least for
5.2.

Hope this helps
