Use Per Item Weight instead of Per Thousand Weight in the Pricing Calculators

When creating a price calculator price engine, the weight of the products is added in the Per Thousand Weight column. This means that you have to take the per unit weight for 1 item, multiply it by 1000, and enter that result in Per Thousand Weight column in the Excel sheet.

Although this calculation seems straightforward enough, it does confuse clients a couple of times every year. It would be more straightforward to have a Per Unit Weight column, that would not require the client to enter the weight for 1000 units, but only a per unit weight value.

    This would actually be a huge pain for us. We currently have >2,500 pricing calculators that already use the Per Thousand Weight. Does that mean that I will need to go into every pricing engine to correct it? I would dread having to update each one individually.
