Hi everyone, apologies for the gap since our last update.
We appreciate your ongoing feedback and additional detail that’s been shared in this thread.
A dedicated units-of-measure field for line items isn't something we've committed to building as a standalone feature, though it's one we're actively considering as part of a wider look at extending invoice documents to better serve our customers.
For now, connected apps in the Xero App Store remain an immediate option to meet needs expressed. We'll post an update here as this broader work develops.

A Unit of measure of mm is crucial. And I am pretty sure I know how Xero can cater to the needs of any unit.
You've gotta ask how you measure a unit at the start and for stocktake.
When I get units in, it is in mm, so when it starts, I change a setting from Units of Unit to mm increments, from there I say how many mm I acquire and then between here and stocktake, this is the data that is required for reporting purposes.
When assessing how to track this, ideally you need to know how to accommodate it, and when you know the item and you know the unit, you can see "Units sold" and it's 50 units is equal to 50mm based on the Original setting for that item versus say a physical item of a filter which 50 units would be a Unit qty of 50 of these.
Either way, it's 50 and 50, 50 qty of either, but 50 in a different metric of units from Unit to metric milimetres.
I support this feature and unfortunately this will be the achilies heel for my business operations which run on exactly the metric measurement which is difficult to implement without paying $200.00 per month which would wipe out all profits unfortunately.
Doing things harder at this point is working smarter.
