Hi,
Go to MM42, select basic data view
In,Units of measure/ EANs /dimensions sub tab
there u can see four radio buttons
B.Un    Unit of measure is base unit (used internally only) 
O.Un    Unit of measure is the order unit                             - Purchasing
D/L.Un  Unit of measure is delivery unit/issue unit              - Logistics
S.Un    Unit of measure is the sales unit                             - Sales
for eg:
First line enter EA (each) or PC (piece) in Auom for a material and  enter 1 in Number and select radio button for B.Un
Second line enter CT (carton) in Auom and  enter 10 in Number and select radio button for O.UN (when you creating a PO it UOB automatically picks as CT)
Third line enter PALin Auom and enter 50 in Number and select radio button for D/l .UN (when u creating a delivery UOB picks as PAL ie pallets)
Fourth line enter EA or PC and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for S.UN (when u creating a Sales order UOB picks as EA or PC as u defined)
