We order material by the foot, but it would be nice to be able to see the weight of each line item on a PO. This way, we can make sure one purchase order fills a truckload. For example, part A we order 100 ft. and part B we order 200 ft. 100’ of part A weighs 10,000 lbs. 200’ of part B weighs 25,000 lbs. To make a full truckload of 40,000 lbs, we would increase one of the items.. We do have the unit weight on the Part attributes. Anyone have a solution?

There are no weight fields in any of the PO Tables so it would require creation of UD field(s), BPMs to populate the values and a form customization to show the results to the user.
We needed weight information on the sales order to know approximately how heavy a box would be when shipped out. We wrote a BAQ to show the weight of all items on an order and added it as a separate tab on the order to show weights per product. We then did a summary to add all lines to get a total weight. I think you should be able to do that on a purchase order as well.
