IC Item Stock Unit Conversion Factor

Question

Hi..I have a question which need advise from the experts here. 
 If the Item is 16.7g per bottle. And every time to use in IC BOM, it required 0.35g. How do I set the Stocking Unit Conversion in the IC Item? As the Conversion Factor not allow to use decimal. Or is it correct to set the Stocking Unit = Bottle, and Conversion = 1? 
 Appreciate if anyone could advise me on this. Thank you.

Stocking unit must be the lowest common denominator, i.e., grams, and you must allow fractional quantities.

If you set your UOM as BOTTLE, then the BOM will be using 0.2095 of the bottle which can be used in a BOM. or you can set your BOM to be made in multiples of a full bottle. so 16.7 / 0.35 = 47.7. so if you make your BOM setup to be made in qty's of 47 each time you can set it to use 1 full bottle. 47 is a weird number to make, but it takes care of having a fractional remainder left in inventory.
