Where these show up: once defined, a custom unit of measure appears alongside
Backbone's built-in units in every unit-of-measure dropdown in the desktop app — for example when entering quantities on parts, orders,
shipments, and purchase orders. There's no separate step to enable a unit for use; it becomes
selectable as soon as it's saved here.
