BUOM is the Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed and it is also called as stock keeping unit.
Order unit is the unit of measure in which u r going to place the order.In sales,it is called as sales unit.In purchasing,it is purchasing unit.You need to maintain alternate unit of conversion if you are maintaing these order units.
In your case wt unit in basic data 1 is the unit of the gross wt maintained.If u want maintain any wt in under dimensions of the material,you have to define wt unit.For this no necessary to maintain alternate unit of measure
The problem is I need to know the list of materials (among 35000 Materials) that might have data standards issues u2013 ex. KG instead of G as weight unit, CS as the BUOM instead of IT.
In that case you can refer from MARA itself,take only material,BUOM(MEINS) and Wtunit(GEWEI).Extract to the excel sheet,do some analysis by filter or VLOOKUP options.
In the initial screen of Mara,Input KG for GEWEI take the output and in that output take the materials and input once again in mara by giving CS as BUOM
