different qty / um for replacement parts?

For Product Structures, we use replacements quite a bit (so far just Substitutes). For the primary part, we use for example: quantity=two, unit=feet for a spool of tubing.  In the replacement part, for this example, the tubing is precut to two feet, and is used as one each. In the replacement part UI, we do not see a field where we can select a different quantity or unit of measure. Is there a Windchill configuration that we can use to allow a replacement to have a different unit of measure and qty from the part that it replaces?

Mike this is supported in 10.1 M020 onwards.  There is a preference to enable this:

Enable quantity and reference designators for substitute parts  (Under Part Management)

Aha - Just tried in a test system.  Works perfectly.  Exactly what we need. thanks very much!
