Here's a use case, as a user story:

As a service company, I'd like to invoice my services in units other 
than hours.

In OpenERP 6, I could change the primary UoM for my services to anything 
I'd like. We have some services that are sold by the day. We have some 
that are a fixed rate, independent of time, and we sell them by the unit.

In OpenERP 7, the only way to accomplish this is to enable multiple 
units of measure. The only way to do this with just the accounting 
module installed is to enable technical features, then click through 
every single user and grant them the access right. It works, but it's 
tedious and not very usable.

There's a solution to this tedium, but it's only available if the sale 
module is installed: settings -> sales -> Allow using different units of 
measures. But this isn't actually about the sale module, it's about the 
product module. I'm proposing that that setting be made available by the 
product module, and not the sale module.

Title:
  "Allow using different units of measures" setting is a product
  feature, but defined in the "sale" module which may not be installed

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The product module defines the group product.group_uom, or "Manage
  Multiple Units of Measure". I can enable technical features, then
  assign this under the access rights for each user, but this is
  tedious.

  The solution seems to be enabling the "Allow using different units of
  measures" setting under Settings -> Sales. However, this is defined in
  the "sale" module.

  If I install the accounting application, the product module will also
  be installed, and I will have products, and I might want to have
  different UoMs on my invoices. But, "Allow using different units of
  measures" won't be available to me, because the "sale" module isn't
  installed.

  I think that setting should be moved to the product module, so it's
  always available in any configuration that has products.
