I am considering the Base Unit Of Measure of Consumer product (ex, Shampoo/Conditioner/etc..). I will set BUOM EA (each). But I found the message from this site. Please refer to the following URL. My question, why we can not set EA as Base Unit Of measure for out product?

1. ALWAYS set the base unit of measure for a material to the smallest unit that can be used. That is, don't set it as FT (foot), but set it as IN (inch). Never set EA as base unit for something that can be divided and consumed in smaller quantities.
