Symptoms

When viewing the Order Base Unit of Measure, notice that it has different Units Of Measure (UOM) than Order Release.

The DB has the following values:
IS_STORAGE_DEFAULT Y
VOLUME CUFT
WEIGHT LB

UOMs Used on OB:
CUMTR
KG

UOMs expected on OR in the DB:
OR
CUFT
LB

When one of the lines has 0 volume and 0 weight.

Order Base: IBAHGAT.LH_BAD_VOL-01

DEFAULT BDP-EG BDP-US KG KG 0.00 CUMTR CUMTR 1

Order Release: IBAHGAT.LH_BAD_VOL-01-001

LH_BAD_VOL-01-001-001 DEFAULT 1 1 0.00 KG 0.00 CUMTR

You expect the OB's UOMs get maintained on the DB for the Releases, but what happens is that the releases uses the Units of Measure stored as the system default in the database. Orders should be released in non base UOM. The behavior is not consistent.
