Hmmm... Well, in the 832, you do have the LIN loop and the PO1 (baseline item data) segment. In PO 103, you can have Element ID 355 - for the UNIT OR BASIS FOR MEASUREMENT CODE that is then followed by the Unit Price in PO 104. It's the same as used in an outbound PO.
My thinking could be that you could have a PO1 line item for each measurement you're trying to convey - Each (EA), Case (CA), Square foot (SF) and Square yard (SY). There's also package (PK) and a load of other possible choices. Even further, there are codes for LINEAR measurements (LF, LM - meter, LY - yard, and even LX - linear yards per pound)... That's another way to think about it. Also, this may make ordering the tile a bit easier, as the same PO1 line item data that is being included in the 832 catalog can be turned right back around in the 850 PO...! Now, the P01 segment can only appear once, but the LIN loop can be used over and over and over again, ad infinitum. The same MEA segment you show below can also appear up to 25 times in the LIN loop to each PO1 segment, as well. There is also the G55 segment - ITEM CHARACTERISTICS - CONSUMER UNIT - which has a lot of choices in it, as well, but can only appear once, but can carry multiple UOM elements.... Just My thoughts...
