We would like our model’s base unit of measure to be “Unit”. However, since we measure warehouse capacity in cubic feet (not units) we must specify the model base unit as “Cube” since we cannot specify the UOM on the Warehouse table.

@Jonathan Smith the dilemma here is that UOM conversions are specified at the product level.  Hence for "warehouse product data", different UOM's can be used.  For the "warehouse data" this becomes complicated because there is a mix of products, and we don't know upfront what the mix is until the solve has completed, hence we don't know what conversion rate to use.  The way the underlying model is constructed unfortunately doesn't allow us to make this change.
