The solution proposed for recording transactions at the box level and recording the net weight of goods shipped to a customer appears to be correct.

Setting up the product with a sales unit measure of pounds and inventory unit measure of box enables the company to track the inventory at the box level, which is the primary unit of measure used during the manufacturing process. Additionally, using a sales unit measure of pounds allows the company to sell the product based on weight, which is the method used for pricing the product.

Setting a standard unit conversation for the product from box to pounds is also a correct approach as it allows the company to convert the box unit of measure to the sales unit of measure for pricing purposes. This conversion is necessary since the product is sold based on weight, but the inventory is tracked at the box level.

Overall, this solution meets the stated goals of performing transactions at the box level and recording the net weight of goods shipped to a customer. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Yes.
