That's a very (very) specialised case, where ALL products you have are of the same weight, to not mess it up.
Here, we had such a special case, something bought as m³ (cubic metres, had to be called on the purchase order like this) and sold as kg. I think the common way would have been to do a "unit conversion" by manufacturing, but that was too much overhead. So we added a unit for m³ to weight. But even here, we wanted to avoid any misunderstandings, esp. with future products that may be added, and called it "m³ (48kg)", thus identifying it uniquely. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of C2C OERPScenario, which is subscribed to the OpenERP Project Group. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734686 Title: Name of unit of measurements should be unique per category Status in OpenERP Modules (addons): Confirmed Bug description: You can add two Unit of Measurements named "kg" (with the same, or even more severe: with different ratios), in the same category. To avoid confusion and inconsistent data, the name of the unit should be unique (per category). This is, among other usages, quite neccessary for external unit conversion e.g. programs contacting OpenERP via xmlrpc. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~c2c-oerpscenario More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
