Notes:
- Conversions are starting to get bigger and bigger as well. How does that play in with the part weight field.

- Part weight is playing in more and more - What do we want to do with that? Currently it is being used for gram control and/or an alternate multiplier.

- We would love to be able to name that field and make it more standard. Currently they are using the catalog_page field (aka the bin number). We may need a couple of extra fields here. This field is a varchar (text field) and allows for both alpha and numeric values. In some of our code, we are having to check for numeric values and then doing multiplication. If it is not a numeric, we are treating it like a value of 1 which doesn't change anything.

- We may need another unit of measure field to help with the part weight or some other key factor.

- Go back to the parent/child relationships - Is this data needed on the parent or on the individual child. Expand on this. Also, this information may be part of the conversion process. Some of the data may need to be stored higher and then cascading downward. It also may need to be recorded on a per child or per mini conversion level.

- The parent items may need a couple more fields that could be dynamic. We need both text and numeric data fields. Maybe thing shipping, ecommerce, weight stuff, alternate units of measure. For example: Say a single candy bar (1 each) may also need a spot to store the number of carbs or sugar content (2.7 milligrams or 5.67 fluid ounces or whatever).

- What about other possible thresholds? Think broad... this may not go here, but we have sub inventory, sub attributes, flex grid, corp-wide settings, etc. What about real in-line extensions of the database. That might be really cool. If they want more or less fields, it would be really cool to allow that kind of functionality on the parent item level.
