A couple of other projects for the wish list ...

Further enhancement of Accounts Payment

Correct me if I am wrong, but the concept at the moment is that payments are 
decided and made independently of TinyERP and then you tell TinyERP afterwards 
how much you have paid each supplier. 

Traditional accounting systems work the other way around ... you match the 
supplier invoices as they are received with the purchase orders on the system 
creating a purchase ledger. Then when you are ready to make payments the 
computer tells you what invoices are due before a certain date or oustanding 
for a certain supplier. Then all you need to do is tick the invoices you want 
to pay (or enter a smaller amount for a part payment) and then when you've done 
the computer prints out remittance advices for each supplier showing their 
invoice numbers and the amount paid against each one (if paying by cheque, it 
will increment the cheque number on each advice from your given starting point 
and record the cheque totals, for bank reconcilliation when the cheques are 
(eventually) presented to your bank. Even if paying electronically most 
suppliers need a remittance advice telling them what you have paid.

Or is this the way the payments module is already going?

Another useful module would be ...

Multiple Warehouse Management

Allow sales to be made against "stock" and at time of picking allow selection 
of source location warehouse to be made on practical criteria.

For example if 
Warehouse A had products 1,2,4 and 5 in stock
Warehouse B had products 1,3,5 and 6 in stock
Warehouse C had products 2,3,4 and 5 in stock

If you had a 2 line order for products 1 and 5 you could send from either A or 
B, and would probably want to be informed which one had the cheapest delivery 
rate to the customer (using the haulage matrix) or you might want to send from 
the warehouse with the biggest stock.

If you had a 3 line order for products 2,3 and 4 you would probably want to 
send from Warehouse C

However if warehouse A showed an ETA of item 3 soon enough to meet delivery 
deadline in the first example you might wait and pick from A instead if 
delivery was cheaper. Or perhaps instead of sending 2,3 and 4 from warehouse C 
it might be cheaper to split the order and send 2 and 4 from A and 3 from B 
(but only if the customer permitted split deliveries!)

At the moment picking is done almost blind, without any indication of product 
availability (even from a single warehouse) and yet TinyERP possesses all of 
the information to help inform decisions like the examples above and more.
