Firstly the easy bit, Alternate units of measure and conversion factors
can be set up for customers in the INV120 program in v6.0.02. Any units
you wish to use will have to be configured in the UNITMEAS system table
using SYS105 before you can use them.

Then the hard bit, Pricing, there isn't any obvious way of setting
prices by UOM or warehouse. You could probably set something uo in PRO
but it would depend the details of the business process, and what you
regard as acceptable workloads. 

You could create Kit items with similar part no's e.g ADCDEF is the
item, ABCDEF4 is the 4 pack ADCDEF6 is the 6 pack etc. You could then
set general or customer specific prices for each one.
