Explanation

In Dynamics 365 Finance, the Weight EDT is the standard Extended Data Type specifically designed to store product weight values and supports up to four decimal places of precision. It is the semantically correct and technically appropriate EDT to extend when adding a weight field to a new table. MarkupValue is used for pricing surcharges, WeightBase is an underlying base type not meant to be extended directly for this purpose, and AmountMST is a monetary amount EDT tied to the accounting currency - none of these are appropriate for product weights.
