Configuration Package and Item Units of Measure

Hi:
 
I hate Configuration Packages, because they rarely work.
 
Case in point, the attachment below.  This was an attempt to import into the 99000852 table (Demand Forecast Entry).
 
Yes, the Unit of Measure Codes given to me in this package's source file spreadsheet were wrong.
 
But, when I try to change the incorrect "EA" to the correct "FT", it doesn't want to believe me.  The error states that FT is not in the Item Units of Measure table.
 
Indeed, "FT" is in the Item's Unit of Measure "screen" and it's the only Unit of Measure Code in this "screen"!!!
 
What's up?
 
John

    You can edit the excel file and re-upload.
     
    There are also a lot of connected Item tables. You need to make sure for that Item (BL15) that both UoMs are added to that item in the Item UoM table (Table 5404): 
     
    And you need to make sure its also loaded in the Unit of Measure table.
     
    If that all fails here is what I would try. Disable validation on that field in the configuration package:
    That picture above is a different table but the same logic applies. Disable the validation and then upload the excel file for the configuration package.
     
    Best,
