First go to Sales settings and select(enable) Units of Measure : Some products may be sold/purchased in different unit of measures.  After that Sales configuration select Units of Measure and create additional unit of measure.
For example create Each as reference unit of measure for category unit and create Dozen(s) as additional unit of measure under category unit and type: Bigger than reference unit of measure and Bigger ratio : 12.00
