Purchase unit of measure vs stocking unit of measure

Hello,

We have several parts that need to be ordered with one unit of measure on the PO but stocked and transacted with another unit of measure. example: We purchase wire by the foot but stock and transact it in meters.

All BOM requirements and stock balances are in meters, but need the PO to be expressed in feet for the supplier to see when ordering.

Is there a method to handle this automatically when issuing the purchase order? 

Thank you.
