This also gives the added bonus that true inventory (where your "stock" is real property) then become much nicer too - your inventory doesn't need to contain potentially hundreds of sub-accounts for each product you have ever stocked, which was one of the major ugly sides to the inventory implementation which was stopping me from pursuing the thought further. No offense intened to Derek, but his proposed solution was really unworkable for a trading business to use - its just too messy having your trading profit not appearing in the accounts, but instead in a seperate report. I *like* being able to see at a glance at the main screen that we're not going backwards. > Can we do it this way? Well, I'd certainly encourage this as the better approach. I'm far more likely to use this. In fact, if this is the approach selected, I can realisticly put the GnuPOS inventory into gnucash, which will save me an almighty amount of work (although I'm still a fair way away from doing this stuff). I like the idea. I'm not sure how complicated people were intending to make the Lot editiing interface, but I begin to think we'll effectively need a "Lot Register" to edit the transactions on a lot.
