You can define  your own units for each inventory item.

I maintain bulk inventory in LBS of which I 'manufacture' bags of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1LB, so it sounds a lot like what they need.

I buy things in 50lbs or 20kg buckets and use the purchasing pricing and UOM conversion to restock myself.

Re: How to manage inventory by KG and number of bages

Not for the *same* item, but I do have for example

STONE Bulk with UOM 1LB and
4LB Stone with UOM each

The Bulk stone is my purchased inventory and the 4LB Bag is a Manufactured Item.

Here is the general flow of a given Raw Material:

1) Buy 50lb box of Lab Stone (Supp Unit 50lb Box, Conversion factor 50)
2) STONE Inventory Level becomes 50
3) Sell 5 Units of Stone Bulk
4) STONE Inventory Level becomes 45
5) Get an Order for 3 4LB Bags of stone
6) Manufacturer 3 "4LB Bags"
7) STONE Inventory Level becomes 33

You can have different versions so long as you can manufacturer the secondary items.
