different unit of measures based on the vendors in purchase lines

Hi everyone!
I hope you are doing well!
Is it possible the UOM (Unit of Measure) is filled automatically based on vendors. I mean, for a particular item, the unit of measure is filled in purchase order based on the vendor.
For example, for item 1, if vendor is A, UOM will be Lit, and if the vendor is B, UOM will be KG.
I tried with item reference, but unfortunately we have to select item reference manually to be filled automatically. 
Also I tested 'Purchase Price' and it does not work also.
Is there any solution out of the box?
Thanks in advance!

    Hi, 

    You can use Item Reference with customization. There is a field Item Reference Unit of Measure and you can show that.

    Regarding filling it automatically, the system does fill the Item Reference No automatically based on some filters including Item Unit of Mesure but in your case you can subscribe to the event OnAfterFindItemReferenceForPurchaseLine in codeunit Item Reference Management and reset the unit of measure filter. 
     
    [EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Codeunit, Codeunit::"Item Reference Management", OnAfterFindItemReferenceForPurchaseLine, '', false, false)]
        local procedure OnAfterFindItemReferenceForPurchaseLine(var PurchaseLine: Record "Purchase Line"; var ItemReference: Record "Item Reference"; var Found: Boolean)
        begin
            ItemReference.SetRange("Unit of Measure");
            if ItemReference.FindFirst() then
                Found := true;
        end;
