Update:  In 1989 - 1990, the membership approved a recommendation in a supporting document on product identification that only the unit 'EA' (Each) be used and partners should agree on the definition of "Each," because it could mean one piece, or one gallon, or one foot, etc. All of the EIDX guidelines use "EA." We rewrote the product identification guideline in 1997 to eliminate that recommendation because there was no valid business reason for the requirement. Any unit of measure code that's valid in the standard is acceptable. Our guidelines did not get updated to reflect the change. Treat the recommendation of "EA" as an example or recommendation. Partners need to use the units of measure that satisfy business and systems requirements.
